Interesting idea.

'-Wtrampolines'
      Warn about trampolines generated for pointers to nested functions.

      A trampoline is a small piece of data or code that is created at
      run time on the stack when the address of a nested function is
      taken, and is used to call the nested function indirectly.  For
      some targets, it is made up of data only and thus requires no
      special treatment.  But, for most targets, it is made up of code
      and thus requires the stack to be made executable in order for the
      program to work properly.


That might work.
