            Bug ID: 81692
           Summary: Bogus noreturn warning
           Product: gcc
           Version: 7.1.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: gcc at sjor dot sg
  Target Milestone: ---

The following code will cause a -Wreturn-type warning to be emitted in the
'foo' function, even though 'foo' calls throw_exception_ which is marked
__attribute__((__noreturn__)).

This test case is as minimal as I could get it: the problem is gone if
throw_exception_ or foo are no longer templated, or if foo does not use
__PRETTY_FUNCTION__.

Confirmed on gcc 6.2.0-5ubuntu12 and gcc 7.1.1 from Arch.


__attribute__ ((__noreturn__)) void abort();

template <class E>
__attribute__ ((__noreturn__))
void
throw_exception_( E const & x, char const * current_function)
{
        abort();
}

template <typename T>
int foo() {
  int exc;
  throw_exception_(exc, __PRETTY_FUNCTION__);
}
