Bug ID: 108796
Summary: GCC 13 accepts [[noreturn]] attribute without -std=c2x
Product: gcc
Version: 13.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c

foo.i
GCC 13 (13.0.1 20230212) seems to accept [[noreturn]] as an attribute even when
not in C2x mode. This leads to a build failure with sudo-1.9.13
(https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/issues/239) since
https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/commit/e707ffe58b3ccfe5c72f54c38eac1d7069d5021e.
Clang 16.0.0_rc2 does not accept it unless passing -std=c2x.
Is this intentional or not? Thanks.
foo.c:
```
#include <stdlib.h>
[[noreturn]] void foo(void) {
abort();
}
int main() {
foo();
}
```
```
