[PATCH] Use GCC5/DWARF5 DW_AT_noreturn to mark functions that don't return normally.


Add a flag field is_noreturn to struct func_type. Make calling_convention
a small bit field to not increase the size of the struct. Set is_noreturn
if the new GCC5/DWARF5 DW_AT_noreturn is set on a DW_TAG_subprogram.
Use this information to warn the user before doing a finish or return from
a function that does not return normally to its caller.

(gdb) finish
Warning. Function endless does not return normally.
Try to finish anyway? (y or n)

(gdb) return
warning: Function does not return normally to caller!
Make endless return now? (y or n)

gdb/ChangeLog

	* dwarf2read.c (read_subroutine_type): Set TYPE_NO_RETURN from
	DW_AT_noreturn.
	* gdbtypes.h (struct func_type): Add is_noreturn field flag. Make
	calling_convention an 8 bit bit field.
	(TYPE_NO_RETURN): New macro.
	* infcmd.c (finish_command): Query if function does not return
	normally.
	* stack.c (return_command): Likewise.

include/ChangeLog

	* dwarf2.def (DW_AT_noreturn): New DWARF5 attribute.

The dwarf2.h addition and the code to emit the new attribute is already in
the gcc tree.

OK to commit?

Thanks,

Mark
