Now I see, thanks. Unfortunately this is one of those typical
situations where if one writes the code in order to silent a warning
(or worse, an error) with a given compiler he gets the opposite
warning (in this case an "unreachable code") with others. With simple
functions like e.g.

   int f() { throw xyz(); }

one can get out of trouble with a (well-commented)

   int f() { return throw xyz(), 0; }

but I don't know if that's ok for your case (and anyway whether you
find it preferable to a macro)

Genny.
