  23 /* A "non-returning" function is a function which cannot return normally.
  24    It can transfer control only through longjmp(), throw (in C++), or similar
  25    mechanisms.
  26 
  27    This file defines two macros _GL_NORETURN_FUNC and _GL_NORETURN_FUNCPTR,
  28    that declare a function to be non-returning.
  29    _GL_NORETURN_FUNC is for use in function declarations and function
  30    definitions.
  31    _GL_NORETURN_FUNCPTR is for use on function pointers.
  32 
  33    Comparison of this file with <stdnoreturn.h>:
  34    <stdnoreturn.h> defines a macro (or keyword) _Noreturn that declares
  35    a function to be non-returning.  _Noreturn is only for use in function
  36    declarations and function definitions.
  37    Therefore, if the non-returning functions you have to declare are unlikely
  38    to be accessed through function pointers, and if the efficiency with C++
  39    compilers other than g++, clang, MSVC++ is not an issue to you, you can use
  40    module 'stdnoreturn' instead of this one, and _Noreturn instead of
  41    _GL_NORETURN_FUNC.
