+Function Attributes
+```````````````````
+::
+
+  sil-function-attribute ::= '[canonical]'
+
+The function is in canonical SIL even if the module is still in raw SIL.
+::
+
+  sil-function-attribute ::= '[ossa]'
+
+The function is in OSSA (ownership SSA) form.
+::
+
+  sil-function-attribute ::= '[transparent]'
+
+Transparent functions are always inlined and don't keep their source
+information when inlined.
+::
+
+  sil-function-attribute ::= '[' sil-function-thunk ']'
+  sil-function-thunk ::= 'thunk'
+  sil-function-thunk ::= 'signature_optimized_thunk'
+  sil-function-thunk ::= 'reabstraction_thunk'
+
+The function is a compiler generated thunk.
+::
+
+  sil-function-attribute ::= '[dynamically_replacable]'
+
+The function can be replaced at runtime with a different implementation.
+Optimizations must not assume anything about such a function, even if the SIL
+of the function body is available.
+::
+
+  sil-function-attribute ::= '[dynamic_replacement_for' identifier ']'
+  sil-function-attribute ::= '[objc_replacement_for' identifier ']'
+
+Specifies for which function this function is a replacement.
+::
+
+  sil-function-attribute ::= '[exact_self_class]'
+
+The function is a designated initializers, where it is known that the static
+type being allocated is the type of the class that defines the designated
+initializer.
+::
+
+  sil-function-attribute ::= '[without_actually_escaping]'
+
+The function is a thunk for closures which are not actually escaping.
+::
+
+  sil-function-attribute ::= '[' sil-function-purpose ']'
+  sil-function-purpose ::= 'global_init'
+
+The implied semantics are:
+
+ - side-effects can occur any time before the first invocation.
+ - all calls to the same ``global_init`` function have the same side-effects.
+ - any operation that may observe the initializer's side-effects must be
+   preceded by a call to the initializer.
+
+This is currently true if the function is an addressor that was lazily
+generated from a global variable access. Note that the initialization
+function itself does not need this attribute. It is private and only
+called within the addressor.
+::
+
+  sil-function-attribute ::= '[weak_imported]'
+
+Cross-module references to this function should always use weak linking.
+::
+
+  sil-function-attribute ::= '[available' sil-version-tuple ']'
+  sil-version-tuple ::= [0-9]+ ('.' [0-9]+)*
+
+The minimal OS-version where the function is available.
+::
+
+  sil-function-attribute ::= '[' sil-function-inlining ']'
+  sil-function-inlining ::= 'never'
+
+The function is never inlined.
+::
+
+  sil-function-inlining ::= 'always'
+
+The function is always inlined, even in a ``Onone`` build.
+::
+
+  sil-function-attribute ::= '[' sil-function-optimization ']'
+  sil-function-inlining ::= 'Onone'
+  sil-function-inlining ::= 'Ospeed'
+  sil-function-inlining ::= 'Osize'
+
+The function is optimized according to this attribute, overriding the setting
+from the command line.
+::
+
+  sil-function-attribute ::= '[' sil-function-effects ']'
+  sil-function-effects ::= 'readonly'
+  sil-function-effects ::= 'readnone'
+  sil-function-effects ::= 'readwrite'
+  sil-function-effects ::= 'releasenone'
+
+The specified memory effects of the function.
+::
+
+  sil-function-attribute ::= '[_semantics "' [A-Za-z._0-9]+ '"]'
+
+The specified high-level semantics of the function. The optimizer can use this
+information to perform high-level optimizations before such functions are
+inlined. For example, ``Array`` operations are annotated with semantic
+attributes to let the optimizer perform redundant bounds check elimination and
+similar optimizations.
+::
+
+  sil-function-attribute ::= '[_specialize "' [A-Za-z._0-9]+ '"]'
+
+Specifies for which types specialized code should be generated.
+::
+
+  sil-function-attribute ::= '[clang "' identifier '"]'
+
+The clang node owner.
