I’m statically analyzing a function `apple3dgs::savePly` in an iOS system library. The function is very large, but it seems Hex-Rays only recognizes the first few bytes, and the decompiled output is clearly incorrect. How can I fix this issue?

it looks like the `__gs_log` function is incorrectly marked as no-returning. See [Igor’s Tip of the Week #162: Where’s my code? The case of no-return call](https://hex-rays.com/blog/igors-tip-of-the-week-162-wheres-my-code-the-case-of-no-return-call) on how to fix this.

It worked. Thank you very much
