* [Bug c/29521] New: Confusing warning for return with expression in function returning void @ 2006-10-20 6:17 muntyan at tamu dot edu 2006-10-20 9:09 ` [Bug c/29521] " rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org ` (4 more replies) 0 siblings, 5 replies; 6+ messages in thread From: muntyan at tamu dot edu @ 2006-10-20 6:17 UTC (permalink / raw) To: gcc-bugs Consider the following code: void func () { } void func2 () { return func (); } gcc -pedantic correctly warns about "return func();", but the warning text is very confusing: 'return' with a value, in function returning void It talks about "value" where there is no value involved. It took me a while to understand what exactly is wrong. Warning says "value", so I obviously checked signatures first; then I looked for a problem with includes; then I asked in comp.lang.c. It would be better if gcc said something like 'return' with an expression, in function returning void or ISO C forbids ... The latter would be the best, I guess. -- Summary: Confusing warning for return with expression in function returning void Product: gcc Version: 4.1.2 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: c AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: muntyan at tamu dot edu http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29521 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
