[cfe-dev] Function return type from ReturnStmt

[Phil King]

Of course, that makes sense. The top-most type will always be the same as the return type. (Bangs head on desk !).

Looking through the implicit cast does then allow me to check for 'undesirable' type conversions.

Thanks, I knew it would be easy ;-) Phil.

The expression in the ReturnStmt will have been implicitly converted to the return type, so unless you're writing an AST verifier, there is nothing to do here.

You probably want to look past any implicit conversions and see what expression was actually written.
