There would be some value to having an attribute which indicated that a function
never returns under any circumstances (likely since it always throws), but that
wouldn't help exit any, since it's a C function and wouldn't have the attribute.
The bindings to C can be attributed as we see fit. A C symbol is not mangled,
and so you can attach any attributes you want (you can even change the number
and types of parameters).
Regardless, I see little value in complicating dmd even a little bit more just
so that you don't have to insert an extra assert(0) after exit - particularly
when very few programs call exit, and very few should.
I agree with this.
Generally, something is
horrendously wrong if exit is being called, and there's probably a better way to
handle it.
I don't agree with this, exit has its valid uses.
Agree with Steven. All my modules hold:
import core.stdc.stdlib : exit;
// debug tool func
void stop () { exit(0); }
