   You can also use volatile on functions (I think this is a GNU extension).
   This specifies that the function will never return.

This has been deprecated, don't use it [it may not work anymore for that
matter].  Instead use __attribute__ ((__noreturn__)).

e.g.

extern void exit (int) __attribute__ ((__noreturn__));
