C3409: empty attribute block is not allowed by noreturn

I get one error C3409: empty attribute block is not allowed from noreturn in VS2013.

Here are code snippets:

#ifndef CPPX_NORETURN
#   define  CPPX_NORETURN [[noreturn]]
#endif

...

namespace std {
    class nested_exception
    {
    private:
        exception_ptr nested;

    public:
        CPPX_NORETURN      // error is here
             void rethrow_nested() const
        {
            rethrow_exception(nested);
        }

Could someone help me to figure out how to fix this error? Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • VS2013 doesn't support C++11 attributes feature (VS2015 supported it).

    You can use __declspec(noreturn) instead of [[noreturn]].
