--- Comment #5 from Sebastien Boisvert <sboisvert at gydle dot com> --- OK, thanks for the link, this is interesting. A previous release, g++ 7.4.0, does not generate an infinite loop in the executable. Like g++ 8.3.0, it does print the warning: no return statement in function returning non-void [-Wreturn-type]. So, in a way, g++ 7.4.0 handled this better than g++ 8.3.0, from a software development standpoint. If the warning [-Wreturn-type] can generate an infinite loop in the resulting executable, then it should be an error, because the resulting executable is unusable. In the end, I should use -Werror=return-type. Thanks
