Log: Try to fix windows builds - MSVC doesn't like
g_assert_not_reached() ?
MSVC doesn't understand that it never returns. I don't know whether
there's a way to tell MSVC that a function never returns,
There is: Wireshark uses it in a few places:
See #define MSVC_NORETURN in config.h
Looking a little deeper at GLib I see the following in one of the GLib
.h files
void g_assertion_message (const char *domain,
const char *file,
int line,
const char *func,
const char *message)
G_GNUC_NORETURN;
I suspect getting GLib to do something like G_MSVC_NORETURN is just not
going to happen.
It does appear that the gcc noreturn attribute can preceed the funcion
name (contrary to the comment in config.h).
From: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.2/gcc/Attribute-Syntax.html
__attribute__((noreturn)) void d0 (void),
__attribute__((format(printf, 1, 2))) d1 (const char *, ...),
d2 (void)
"The noreturn attribute applies to all the functions declared; the
format attribute only applies to d1. "
So: maybe one NORETURN macro def (expanding differently) could be used
for both MSVC & GCC.
We now return back to our regularly scheduled program ....
