This is a bug report for perl from bulk88@hotmail.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.17.2.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

Would it be possible to add the 2 patches (1 has been applied to blead, the other hasn't been), in https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=114144 (and a regen.pl) to the next 5.16?

I categorize as a portability fix, and they do not affect ABI since Win32 GCC Perls have been compiled with noreturn declaration for years, code after a longjmp is unreachable by definition. Perl claims to be ABI compatible Visual C Perl and Mingw GCC XS modules, see http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=614808 , the other direction I am not sure about.

It will reduce about a dozen KB (in my experience) of unreachable machine code in the perl dll, and also reduce the size of any XS code compiled Visual C.

I propose this because 5.18 is 10 months away, and 5.16 still has 21 months on it.
