It isn’t just silencing the warning, it’s also generating smaller code.  When 
calling a function that doesn’t return, the compiler doesn’t have to emit any 
code to handle the return path - no registers or stack slots are going to be 
live after the call and so it doesn’t have to bother saving anything.  It 
probably only saves 2-3 instructions at most call sites, but across a few 
hundred calling locations that can add up to a lot.
