Invalid position of G_NORETURN in clang v15
Host environment
- Operating system: Arch Linux
- OS/kernel version:
Linux $HOST 6.2.5-zen1-1-zen #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat, 11 Mar 2023 14:28:15 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- Architecture:
x86_64
- QEMU flavor:
qemu-system-mipsel
- QEMU version: v7.1.0 / master
Description of problem
Order of G_NORETURN
used in https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/0f3de970febd2c9b29dccecb63ca928c6802a101/include/qemu/osdep.h#L240-242 is not valid in clang++ 15.0.7.
Switching extern
with G_NORETURN
seems to fix the issue.
Steps to reproduce
- Build qemu system for MIPSEL or use minimal reproducer:
example.cpp
:
#include "/path/to/qemu/include/glib-compat.h"
extern G_NORETURN
void // QEMU_ERROR("code path is reachable")
qemu_build_not_reached_always(void);
$ clang++ --version
