I'm -1 for the proposed patch (and probably -0 on the general idea). I think the patch has the potential *introducing* new warnings, as compilers might warn that a return is lacking in these functions. I'm -0 on the general idea, as I think the status quo is just fine. As for Victor's second use case (run-time checking that supposedly-unreachable code is indeed not reached, in release mode), I'm -0 also: we check that in debug mode; this looks sufficient to me. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14656> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
