CFI attempts to verify that the dynamic type of a function object
matches the static type of the function pointer used to call it.
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ControlFlowIntegrity.html#indirect-function-call-checking
However, the analyzer does not have enough information to check
cross-dso calls. In these instances, CFI crashes upon calling the
function with an error like:
pthread_create_linux.cc:60:16: runtime error:
control flow integrity check for type
'int (unsigned long *, const pthread_attr_t *, void *(*)(void *), void *)'
failed during indirect function call
(/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0+0x9200):
