Which one was it in this case?

I think people reading GDB absolutely must know that error,
throw_exception, and some other things cannot return.  Otherwise many
areas of the code will make no sense.

If there is a code checker that doesn't realize this, then it is also
going to spit out a lot of bad reports about GDB.

If we had to choose, I would say these should be removed, rather than
new ones added.
