You can just put an empty inline asm after a call before a return, and that call cannot be optimised to a sibling call: (the end of a function is an implicit return:) Instead of: void g(void); void f(int x) if (x) g(); } Do: void g(void); void f(int x) if (x) g(); asm(""); } This costs no extra instructions, and certainly not something as heavy as an mb()! It works without the "if" as well, of course, but with it it is a more interesting example of a tail call.
