Mark END_CATCH as ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN (-Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings)
This commit fixes a set of -Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings in GDB and GDBserver, seen with GCC 7.3.1 on F27 at -O2. Specifically, all of these: src/gdb/breakpoint.c:5040:4: warning: ‘e’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] src/gdb/cli/cli-cmds.c:277:71: warning: ‘tracker’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] src/gdb/cli/cli-cmds.c:302:22: warning: ‘word’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] src/gdb/gdbserver/server.c:1895:7: warning: ‘result’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] src/gdb/gdbserver/server.c:1966:7: warning: ‘result’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] For example, looking at one of the gdbserver ones in more detail: ../../../src/gdb/gdbserver/server.c: In function ‘int handle_qxfer_btrace_conf(const char*, gdb_byte*, const gdb_byte*, ULONGEST, LONGEST)’: ../../../src/gdb/gdbserver/server.c:1966:7: warning: ‘result’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] if (result != 0) ^~ In this case (like the others), the 'result' variable is assigned in both TRY and CATCH blocks: TRY { result = target_read_btrace_conf (thread->btrace, &cache); if (result != 0) memcpy (own_buf, cache.buffer, cache.used_size); } CATCH (exception, RETURN_MASK_ERROR) { sprintf (own_buf, "E.%s", exception.message); result = -1; } END_CATCH if (result != 0) return -3; so it would seem like the warning is bogus. However, END_CATCH is really a catch block in disguise, and that path indeed does not initialize the variable: #define END_CATCH \ catch (...) \ { \ exception_rethrow (); \ } \ } exception_rethrow does not return normally (it rethrows the current exception after running cleanups), but the compiler can not see that. If it could return normally, then indeed 'result' could be used uninitialized if the TRY block threw some non-gdb exception, which would be caught by END_CATCH. The fix it to let the compiler know that the exception_rethrow does not return normally, using ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN. gdb/ChangeLog: 2018-05-30 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * common/common-exceptions.h (exception_rethrow): Use ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN.
