C11 doesn't have attributes at all (and no specification regarding calls 
and dependencies that I can see).  And the way I read the C++11 
specification of carries_dependency is that specifying carries_dependency 
is purely about increasing optimization of the caller: that if it isn't 
specified, then the caller doesn't know what dependencies might be 
carried.  "Note: The carries_dependency attribute does not change the 
meaning of the program, but may result in generation of more efficient 
code. - end note".
