   Is it supposed that terminate() function will never return? I did not find
in September DWP any words about this except 18.6.3.1:
"The implementation's default terminate_handler calls abort()."
But abort will never return...

Function terminate() is described as calling the current terminate-handler.
The description of terminate-handlers says they do not return.

See [lib.terminate] and [lib.terminate.handler].
