Summary

Mark errf _Noreturn and mark errf and warn __printflike

The _Noreturn attribute was added to placate Coverity and other static
analysis tools. The __printflike attribute was added to catch issues
with the calls related to printf(3) abuse.

  • Modify the code to facilitate the __printflike attribute addition.
  • Convert errf calls in to_mb(..) and to_mb_string(..) to warn(..) so the calls will return instead of exiting, as the code suggests it should.

_Noreturn should go first, right before the void.
