This commit adds an UNREACHABLE() macro that expands to either the
__builtin_unreachable() compiler builtin (for release builds) or
abort(3) (for development builds). This is used to mark code paths
that are never to be reached.
It also adds the 'noreturn' attribute to functions that never
return: path_exec(), sh_done() and sh_syntax(). The UNREACHABLE()
macro is not added after calling these.
The purpose of these is:
* to slightly improve GCC/Clang compiler optimizations;
* to fix a few compiler warnings;
* to add code clarity.
Changes of note:
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/io.c: outexcept():
- Avoid using __builtin_unreachable() here since errormsg can
return despite using ERROR_system(1), as shp->jmplist->mode is
temporarily set to 0. See: https://github.com/att/ast/issues/1336
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/io.sh:
- Add a regression test for the ksh2020 bug referenced above.
src/lib/libast/features/common:
- Detect the existence of either the C11 stdnoreturn.h header or
the GCC noreturn attribute, preferring the former when available.
- Test for the existence of __builtin_unreachable(). Use it for
release builds. On development builds, use abort() instead, which
crahses reliably for debugging when unreachable code is reached.
