Not sure what you mean by “ugly”, but ‘_Noreturn’ has the huge advantage of being a reserved identifier per POSIX (info "(libc) Reserved Names"), while ‘noreturn’ is not. What would you think of sticking to the standard and less problematic ‘_Noreturn’ identifier in Gnulib? (I also agree that it’s better for Guile’s public headers to use ‘__noreturn__’, but using ‘noreturn’ was not completely silly either.) Thanks, Ludo’.
