  32 /* On MSVC, standard include files contain declarations like

  35    to the invalid
  36      __declspec (__declspec (noreturn)) void abort (void);
  37
  38    Similarly, on Cygwin, standard include files contain declarations like
  39      void __cdecl abort (void) __attribute__ ((noreturn));
  40    "#define noreturn _Noreturn" would cause this declaration to be rewritten
  41    to the invalid
  42      void __cdecl abort (void) __attribute__ ((__attribute__ ((__noreturn__))));
  43
  44    Instead, define noreturn to empty, so that such declarations are rewritten to
  45      __declspec () void abort (void);
  46    or
  47      void __cdecl abort (void) __attribute__ (());
  48    respectively.  This gives up on noreturn's advice to the compiler but at
  49    least it is valid code.  */
