Please CC [EMAIL PROTECTED] on replies. Log of report can be found at http://bugs.debian.org/141015 ]
[ rechecked with gcc-3.2.1 prerelease ] The following program generates a superfluous warning when compiled with -std=c99 or -std=gnu99. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #include <stdlib.h> int main (void) __attribute__ ((noreturn)); int main (void) { exit(1); } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ volition:~/tmp$ gcc-3.0 -std=c99 -c test.c test.c: In function `main': test.c:6: warning: function declared `noreturn' has a `return' statement volition:~/tmp$ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Obviously, this warning is bogus since there is no return statement anywhere in the program :> The warning is not produced by gcc 2.95.4 nor in the default -std=gnu89 mode. Although this example is trivial, I encountered the bug in an actual program that depends on -std=gnu99 (since C99 features are used). In the program, main() starts an event loop which never directly returns; the program exits by calling exit(). >How-To-Repeat: >Fix:
