Commit 3a2a9527 ("config: add `git_die_config()` to the config-set API", 01-08-2014) added git_die_config() and git_die_config_linenr() functions, but forgot to include the NORETURN attribute in their declarations. Sparse complains like so: SP config.c config.c:1567:6: error: symbol 'git_die_config_linenr' redeclared \ with different type (originally declared at cache.h:1419) \ - different modifiers config.c:1579:6: error: symbol 'git_die_config' redeclared with \ different type (originally declared at cache.h:1418) \ - different modifiers Suppress the sparse errors by adding NORETURN to the function declarations in the cache.h header file. Signed-off-by: Ramsay Jones <ramsay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi Tanay, If you need to re-roll the patches in the 'ta/config-set-1' branch, could you please squash this into the relevant patch. Thanks! At present there are no callers outside of config.c (but that will change right!;-), but since three of the four call sights for these functions appear _before_ the definitions, only a single call could possibly benefit from the NORETURN (line 1585).
