Bug ID: 78339 Summary: -fcheck-pointer-bounds breaks -fsuggest-attribute=noreturn on main 'exit' Product: gcc Version: 6.2.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: eggert at gnu dot org Target Milestone: --- I found this bug when trying to build Emacs with -fcheck-pointer-bounds. Suppose the file profile.i contains: extern _Noreturn void exit (int); int main (void) { exit (1); } Then when GCC 6.2.1 20160916 (Red Hat 6.2.1-2) x86-64 is invoked like this: gcc -S -mmpx -fcheck-pointer-bounds -Wsuggest-attribute=noreturn profile.i GCC issues the following bogus complaint: profile.i: In function 'main.chkp': profile.i:2:5: warning: function might be candidate for attribute 'noreturn' [-Wsuggest-attribute=noreturn] int main (void) { exit (1); } ^~~~ The bogus complaint is not issued if the option -fcheck-pointer-bounds is removed.
