With your patch I get: usage.c: In function âdieâ: usage.c:70:1: error: ânoreturnâ function does return [-Werror] And rightfully so: void NORETURN die(const char *err, ...) { va_list params; va_start(params, err); die_routine(err, params); va_end(params); } You've stripped the NORETURN from die_routine, so of course it looks like we end up returning.
