Yeah, that's what I would expect :)

The function is "__asan_handle_no_return()", declared in
./lib/asan/asan_interface_internal.h, implemented in ./lib/asan/asan_rtl.cc. "no
return" has nothing to do with the semantics of the asan handler itself (nor the
veneer), rather it says something about the condition that the handler cleans up.
