--- Comment #2 from GCC Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Jakub Jelinek <ja...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:e176456cfe5b1013bbfc24853265dfb13673011c commit r15-9003-ge176456cfe5b1013bbfc24853265dfb13673011c Author: Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> Date: Fri Mar 28 10:49:40 2025 +0100 tailc: Handle musttail noreturn calls [PR119483] The following (first) testcase is accepted by clang (if clang::musttail) and rejected by gcc, because we discover the call is noreturn and then bail out because we don't want noreturn tailcalls. The general reason not to support noreturn tail calls is for cases like abort where we want nicer backtrace, but if user asks explicitly to musttail a call which either is explicitly noreturn or is implicitly determined to be noreturn, I don't see a reason why we couldn't do that. Both for tail calls and tail recursions. An alternative would be to keep rejecting musttail to explicit noreturn, but not actually implicitly mark anything as noreturn if it has any musttail calls. But it is unclear how we could do that, such marking is I think done typically before IPA and e.g. for LTO we won't know whether some other TU could have musttail calls to it. And keeping around both explicit and implicit noreturn bits would be ugly. Well, I guess we could differentiate between presence of noreturn/_Noreturn attributes and just ECF_NORETURN without those, but then tailc would still need to support it, just error out if it was explicit. 2025-03-28 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR tree-optimization/119483 * tree-tailcall.cc (find_tail_calls): Handle noreturn musttail calls.
