nothing, no support at all.

i think this option is to make support  not really vertical but inclined with an angle...

No, this option does not make support.

 

In your screenshot you can see that the cube is now "supported" by a piece of wall that lies outside the original geometry (lower left).

The idea is that "Make overhang printable" changes your model so there is no more unprintable overhang. It is not always going to give usable results, depending on the model and the use of the model (even if it is printable).
