Dov Murik <dov.murik at gmail dot com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |dov.murik at gmail dot com --- Comment #2 from Dov Murik <dov.murik at gmail dot com> --- I encountered a similar issue to the one reported by m101010a, in which the following program bug.cpp causes a -Wreturn-type with -O0 (and with -DHAS_DESTRUCTOR -DUSE_A_AFTER_RETURN). $ cat bug.cpp struct st { #ifdef HAS_DESTRUCTOR ~st(); #endif void g(); }; int f() { st a; return 0; #ifdef USE_A_AFTER_RETURN a.g(); #else return 7; #endif } $ g++ -O0 -DHAS_DESTRUCTOR -DUSE_A_AFTER_RETURN -Werror -c bug.cpp bug.cpp: In function ‘int f()’: bug.cpp:16:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type] 16 | } | ^ cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors The following changes causes the compiler to behave nicely and not issue the warning: * Use -O1 or higher. * Remove the destructor (compile without -DHAS_DESTRUCTOR) * Don't use the object in the dead code area (compile without -DUSE_A_AFTER_RETURN). * Use clang++ * Use g++ 7.5.0 $ g++ -O1 -DHAS_DESTRUCTOR -DUSE_A_AFTER_RETURN -Werror -c bug.cpp $ g++ -O0 -DUSE_A_AFTER_RETURN -Werror -c bug.cpp $ g++ -O0 -DHAS_DESTRUCTOR -Werror -c bug.cpp $ clang++ -O0 -DHAS_DESTRUCTOR -DUSE_A_AFTER_RETURN -Werror -c bug.cpp I'm not sure if this is the exact same issue as the original post or not, but looks very similar. As mentioned, this doesn't reproduce with gcc 7.5.0. I managed to reproduce this with gcc 8.3.0, gcc 9.3.0, 10.2.0, and also with gcc 11.0.1 20210320 (using godbolt).
