            Bug ID: 39026
           Summary: Spurious -Wreturn-type warning with "pathological" for
           Product: clang
           Version: 6.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: C++
          Assignee: unassignedclangb...@nondot.org
          Reporter: matthew.woeh...@kitware.com
                CC: dgre...@apple.com, llvm-bugs@lists.llvm.org

Consider the following code:

    int foo()
    {
        for (int y = 0; !y;)
            for (/*decl*/; !y; ++y)
                return 1;
    }

This generates a -Wreturn-type warning, despite that the inner loop body will
*always* execute. Moreover, with optimization enabled, the compiler does (as
expected) successfully remove the loops entirely.

(This is a simplified version of a pre-C++17 `with` statement. The purpose of
this code, which is usually a macro, is to look like the opening statement of a
block, where `/*decl*/` — omitted in this example — is in scope only until the
end of the block. FWIW, the C++17 form, `if (/*decl*/; true)` does not exhibit
the problem.)
