Without this, stack-use-after-scope can only be detected at runtime with ASan or code review, both of which are expensive. Use LIFETIMEBOUND to turn this error into a compile warning. See https://releases.llvm.org/12.0.0/tools/clang/docs/AttributeReference.html#lifetimebound Example: const CScript a{WITH_LOCK(::cs_main, return CScript{} << OP_0 << OP_1)}; Before: (no warning) After: warning: returning reference to local temporary object [-Wreturn-stack-address] const CScript a{WITH_LOCK(::cs_main, return CScript{} << OP_0 << OP_1)}; ^~~~~~~~~ ./sync.h:276:65: note: expanded from macro 'WITH_LOCK' ^~~~
