Summary: Should returning a value in a void function be
downgraded to a warning?
Product: D
Version: D1 & D2
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2

The code:
void main()
{
return true;
}
Results in the compiler error:
test.d(3): Error: long has no effect in expression (true)
Which makes sense, but doesn't really indicate the reasoning very well.
Shouldn't it be instead downgraded to a warning? ie - based on GCC's message:
test.c:(3): Warning: ignoring return value in function returning void
This currently blocks some old D software from building (that, I know, should
really be updated. :)
Regards
Iain
