For the record, I think that continuing to add meta-build information to the
.inf files is counter-productive. As a company that has written tools that
conform to the grammar, these extensions to an .ini style file format are
becoming more and more arcane to parse and process. Some
All,
I would like to propose 3 new UserExtensions in the INF specification. These
would be optional sections that can be used to convey additional information
about the module. This additional meta data is not expected to be used by the
build. This is used by additional tools to help verify
Add the ANALYZER_NORETURN attribute to CpuDeadLoop() and CpuBreakpoint() to
avoid false 'possible NULL-dereference' warnings when dereferencing pointers
after having validated them with ASSERT(). As the ANALYZER-prefixed versions
are being used, the code following the calls will not be optimized
The NORETURN attribute informs compilers and analyzers that the flagged
function cannot return. This may improve the quality of the optimizations.
The UNREACHABLE() macro informs compilers and analyzers that its position
cannot be reached, for example eliminating implicit returns.
