Here's a proposed module 'noreturn' (attached).
The most interesting file is this one:

#ifndef _NORETURN_H
#define _NORETURN_H 1

/* A "non-returning" function is a function which cannot return normally.
   It can transfer control only through longjmp(), throw (in C++), or similar
   mechanisms.

   This file defines two macros _GL_NORETURN_FUNC and _GL_NORETURN_FUNCPTR,
   that declare a function to be non-returning.
   _GL_NORETURN_FUNC is for use in function declarations and function
   definitions.
   _GL_NORETURN_FUNCPTR is for use on function pointers.
 */

/* This file is based on the following compiler dependent language features:
   - '_Noreturn'    - standardized by ISO C11, available in C only (not in C++),
                      and not applicable to pointers.
   - '[[noreturn]]' - standardized by ISO C++11, available in C++ only,
                      and not applicable to pointers.
   - '__attribute__((__noreturn__))' - available in GCC and clang only,
                                       both in C and C++.
   - '__declspec(noreturn)' - available in MSVC only,
                              both in C and C++, not applicable to pointers.
