[PATCH 10/11] trace-cmd: Making the "die" functions noreturn

From: Vladislav Valtchev (VMware)
Date: Thu Nov 23 2017 - 11:36:08 EST


This patch makes all the "die" functions in trace-cmd noreturn in order we to be
able to use them in negative code paths inside non-void functions, without
getting compiler warnings and, clearly, without work-arounds like non-sense
return statements after a die().
