 - A new off-by-default warning ``-Wms-bitfield-padding`` has been added to alert to cases where bit-field
   packing may differ under the MS struct ABI (#GH117428).
 
+- ``-Watomic-access`` no longer fires on unreachable code. e.g.,

+    _Atomic struct S { int a; } s;

+      return;
+      s.a = 12; // Previously diagnosed, now silenced
