No I think you are right.  I (and the rejector) were wrong.

From: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Function-Attributes.html

nonnull (arg-index, ...)
The nonnull attribute specifies that some function parameters should
be non-null pointers. For instance, the declaration:
          extern void *
          my_memcpy (void *dest, const void *src, size_t len)
                  __attribute__((nonnull (1, 2)));

causes the compiler to check that, in calls to my_memcpy, arguments
dest and src are non-null. If the compiler determines that a


OK so dest == 1 and src == 2, starts at 1 :-)
