But if this results in only *one* warning (that the printf() call is unreachable), then I wouldn't bother with this problem anymore, because you really should also have been warned that a __declspec(noreturn) function actually does return. -- Hannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
