The declaration
BOOST_PYTHON_DECL void throw_error_already_set();
should maybe be changed to
BOOST_PYTHON_DECL BOOST_ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN void
throw_error_already_set();
This will help eliminate warnings on some compilers,
and will save people the trouble of writing code like
int f()
{
...
boost::python::throw_error_already_set();
return 0; // unreachable but needed to silence compiler warning
}
BOOST_ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN is defined in
boost/exception/detail/attribute_noreturn.hpp.
