Would it make sense just to annotate that function to help the flow
analysis? Like:
diff --git a/connect.c b/connect.c
index c3a014c5ba..49eca46462 100644
--- a/connect.c
+++ b/connect.c
@@ -46,7 +46,7 @@ int check_ref_type(const struct ref *ref, int flags)
return check_ref(ref->name, flags);
}
-static void die_initial_contact(int unexpected)
+static NORETURN void die_initial_contact(int unexpected)
{
if (unexpected)
die(_("The remote end hung up upon initial contact"));
That should let the callers know what's going on, and inside the
function itself, the compiler should confirm that all code paths hit
another NORETURN function.
