            Bug ID: 99151
           Summary: Missed optimization: Superfluous stack frame and code
                    with noreturn or __builtin_unreachable()
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: sebastian.hu...@embedded-brains.de
  Target Milestone: ---

The following test code:

_Noreturn void r(void);
void u(void);

void g(void)
{
        r();
}


void f(void)
{
        u();
        __builtin_unreachable();
}

Produces code the following code on a sample set of architectures. There should
be no stack frame set up. There should be no instructions after the no-return
function calls (for example sparc).
