New warning, `missing-noreturn':

        * c-decl.c (warn_missing_noreturn): New global variable.
        (c_decode_option): Check for new flags -W{no-}missing-noreturn.
        (finish_function): Implement missing noreturn warning.
        * c-tree.h (warn_missing_noreturn): Declare extern.
        * invoke.texi: Document new flags.
        * toplev.c (documented_lang_options): Add description.

+@item -Wmissing-noreturn
+Warn about functions which might be candidates for attribute @code{noreturn}.
+Note these are only possible candidates, not absolute ones.  Care should
+be taken to manually verify functions actually do not ever return before
+adding the @code{noreturn} attribute, otherwise subtle code generation
+bugs could be introduced.

 @item -Wredundant-decls
 Warn if anything is declared more than once in the same scope, even in
 cases where multiple declaration is valid and changes nothing.
