[Issue 4701] Should returning a value in a void function be downgraded to a warning?

Walter hates warnings. He pretty much thinks that everything should either be an error or not. So, you're generally going to have a hard time getting him to make anything a warning. 2. Returning a value from a void function is outright incorrect. It's not that it _might_ be incorrect or that it _might_ cause errors. It is _definitely_ incorrect. I have no idea why gcc wouldn't make that an outright error. It should be. Then again, C is historically lax about a lot of things that you'd think that it would consider errors, so that's probably why. Still, I see no reason to make D match gcc is this regard. D makes the correct choice here. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: ---

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4701 --- Comment #2 from Iain Buclaw ibuc...@ubuntu.com 2010-08-21 04:29:24 PDT --- (In reply to comment #1) 1. Walter hates warnings. He pretty much thinks that everything should either be an error or not. So, you're generally going to have a hard time getting him to make anything a warning. I beg to differ, but it's his language, so he is allowed to enforce that. 2. Returning a value from a void function is outright incorrect. It's not that it _might_ be incorrect or that it _might_ cause errors. It is _definitely_ incorrect. I have no idea why gcc wouldn't make that an outright error. It should be.

D makes the correct choice here. OK then, when the package maintainer goes chasing up my street for the software affected by the update, I'll let him know it's his fault. ;-) I still think this should be a diagnostic bug though, as the error message does not relate in any way to what the programmer is trying to do. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: ---

The error message is indeed wrong, on it I have bug 3922 So I think this bug report may be closed. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: ---
