The NORETURN attribute informs compilers and analyzers that the flagged function cannot return. This may improve the quality of the optimizations. The UNREACHABLE() macro informs compilers and analyzers that its position cannot be reached, for example eliminating implicit returns. It is recommended to be used together with the NORETURN attribute to prevent warnings regarding the function flagged as 'noreturn' returning. The ANALYZER-prefixed versions have the same effects, but exclude compilers. They may be used to surpress warnings of static analyzers, such as possible dereferencing of a NULL pointer when dereferencing it after having checked it via ASSERT().
