Hello,
So many times I write code like this:
SomeType function()
{
SomeType result;
// do something with result
return result;
}
except I often forget the "return result" statement.
Why does gcc not give an error about this?
If I compile with "-Wall", it will give a WARNING saying
"control reaches end of non-void function".
However, shouldn't it be an ERROR to return nothing
from a function that's supposed to return something?
Does this not result in undefined behaviour? Why goes gcc allow it?
Thanks,
Nate.
