Fixes #6919. Fixes #9882.
More specifically, given:
x : Int32
Its type is deduced to be
NoReturn
after semantic analysis is completed, because it is never used; conversely, if any variable isNoReturn
, then no assignments to it are possible, so it must also be unused, e.g.:NoReturn
variables never allocate stack space during code generation. ThusNoReturn
or unused variables in a semantic context will not appear in its corresponding codegen context. This PR makes sure to ignore those variables.
