--- Comment #56 from Jack Howarth <howarth at nitro dot med.uc.edu> 2011-02-13 23:29:01 UTC --- A regression hunt reveals the PR47324 was actually triggered by... r160124 | hubicka | 2010-06-01 17:55:49 -0400 (Tue, 01 Jun 2010) | 4 lines * ipa-pure-const.c (local_pure_const): Do NORETURN discovery. * testsuite/gcc.dg/noreturn-8.c: New testcase. which explains why it is latent on gcc-4_5-branch. The question remains if that is a sufficient reason to not fix the obviously incorrect code residing there for gcc 4.5.3. That is, are we certain that the testsuite is sufficient to capture any potential failures from this incomplete code in dwarf2out.c.
