>Description:
Here are the results with some versions, note that
only the latest shows the problem.

gcc-2.95.3 -Wreturn-type -O2 -finline-functions :
In function `function':
warning: control reaches end of non-void function

gcc-3.0.3 -Wreturn-type -O2 :
In function `function':
warning: control reaches end of non-void function
/* ./a.out returns 123. */

gcc-3.0.3 -Wreturn-type -O2 -finline-functions
/* No warning. */


So the problem is that in the last compilation
the warning is not given and the function()
returns nothing.
>How-To-Repeat:
static int global_variable;

static int
function (void)
{
  /* Just for function() to do something. */
  global_variable = 123;
}

int
main (void)
{
  return function ();
}
>Fix:
Maybe check_function_return_warnings() should be called before considering making the function inline.
