[Bug middle-end/42674] New: Bogus "no return statement in function returning non-void" warning

["davek at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org>]

Simple testcase not even worth attaching preprocessed source for, using
HEAD@155680.  Note that this only arises in C++, not when compiled as C:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ cat badwarn.cpp

extern void bar (void);
int foo (void) __attribute__ ((__noreturn__));

int
foo (void)
{
  while (1)
  {
    bar ();
  }
}

$ g++-4 -c badwarn.cpp  -Wall
badwarn.cpp: In function 'int foo()':
badwarn.cpp:12:1: warning: no return statement in function returning non-void
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Discussed on the list at http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2010-01/threads.html#00180;
Ross Smith identified this as a regression as it does not arise with 4.0.1,
4.2.1 and 4.3.4, and HJ tracked it to r.138140:
