--- Comment #7 from Steven Schveighoffer <schvei...@yahoo.com> --- One thing that comes to mind on this -- successful compilation will DEPEND on the ability to determine whether a branch escapes or not. The goto is one thing. What about a function that always throws and is inlined? (brought up by ketmar in the forum discussion). A clever enough compiler can compile stuff that other compilers do not. In essence the language needs to be very clear to what level the implementation must go in order to prove it shouldn't look at the other pieces. With the unreachable statement warning, it's just a warning. One can still compile without making it an error (and the warning is optional of course). For this, it's not possible to make it a warning -- the code that should be ignored won't compile. --
