Good catch. I didn't think about this.

I did a little bit of searching and discovered this page:

http://www.klocwork.com/products/documentation/current/Compiler_attributes_analyzed_by_Klocwork

which fortunately says that Klocwork recognizes gcc's
__attribute__((noreturn)), so I feel relatively confident that
Klocwork recognizes __builtin_unreachable as well.

If it doesn't and we get warnings from Klocwork, we can easily make
the unreachable() macro expand to a static inline function marked with
__attribute__((noreturn)).
