Now compilers can recognize fatal() never returns. While GCC 4.5 dropped support for -Wunreachable-code, Clang is capable of detecting the unreachable code. $ make HOSTCC=clang HOSTCFLAGS=-Wunreachable-code-return [snip] HOSTCC scripts/mod/modpost.o scripts/mod/modpost.c:520:11: warning: 'return' will never be executed [-Wunreachable-code-return] return 0; ^ scripts/mod/modpost.c:477:10: warning: 'return' will never be executed [-Wunreachable-code-return] return 0; ^ 2 warnings generated.
