[jira] Commented: (THRIFT-136) Rename "async void" to "noreturn void" or just "noreturn"

["Todd Lipcon (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-136?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12629565#action_12629565 ] 

Todd Lipcon commented on THRIFT-136:
------------------------------------

I dislike the term "noreturn" since it makes it seem like it has to be the last function call of the thrift connection (eg exit() would have a "noreturn" type)

Maybe "no_ack"?

> "async" is not a very descriptive name for functions that don't return any value.  I suggest that we change this keyword to "noreturn" to free up the term "async" to refer to non-blocking function calls.  Votes?
