/* A "non-returning" function is a function which cannot return normally.
It can transfer control only through longjmp(), throw (in C++), or similar
mechanisms.
This file defines two macros _GL_NORETURN_FUNC and _GL_NORETURN_FUNCPTR,
that declare a function to be non-returning.
_GL_NORETURN_FUNC is for use in function declarations and function
definitions.
_GL_NORETURN_FUNCPTR is for use on function pointers.
Comparison of this file with :
defines a macro (or keyword) _Noreturn that declares
a function to be non-returning. _Noreturn is only for use in function
declarations and function definitions.
Therefore, if the non-returning functions you have to declare are unlikely
to be accessed through function pointers, and if the efficiency with C++
compilers other than g++, clang, MSVC++ is not an issue to you, you can use
module 'stdnoreturn' instead of this one, and _Noreturn instead of
_GL_NORETURN_FUNC.
