Summary: Use of return in functions with noreturn
Product: clang
Version: trunk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Keywords: quality-of-implementation
Severity: normal
Priority: P
Component: Frontend
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Consider this:
#include <stdlib.h>
__attribute__((noreturn)) int foo(void)
{
exit(1);
return 0;
}
At the moment, this triggers:
warning: function 'foo' declared 'noreturn' should not return
[-Winvalid-noreturn]
I think this warning is bogus and misleading.
(1) The return is dead code, but might exist to help more stupid compilers that
can't figure out the noreturn property of exit.
(2) noreturn on a function with a return value other than void is questionable.
A warning for that would be nice.
