Yeah, I wrote an experimental patch for noreturn support some years ago,
and that was also my result back then. (I assume you have a current
patch, otherwise I can dig out that one.) I had also written down that
there were some problems with Perl and Tcl headers, FWIW. Did you have
any problems with those?
I think we can take a small loss here and move with the standard.
Unless you can think of a way to define
pg_noreturn_but_for_function_pointers in a systematic way.
