Test case where Clang allows a void function to return an expression
ISO C90 6.6.6.4 says that "A return statement with an expression shall not
appear in a function whose return type is void."
Both Sun Studio and the TenDRA make this a build failure as the specification
requires while Clang does what GCC does. The sudo project had a bug filed
agaisnt it because of Sun Studio:
<a href="https://bugzilla.sudo.ws/show_bug.cgi?id=727">https://bugzilla.sudo.ws/show_bug.cgi?id=727</a>
GCC will only emit a warning when -pendantic is specified and adding -std=c90
does not change the behavior to a warning. The documentation for -pedantic
clearly states that things disallowed by the specification emit errors:
<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.9.3/gcc/Warning-Options.html">https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.9.3/gcc/Warning-Options.html</a>
This probably should be a warning even without `-pendantic`.
This was also filed against GCC, which exhibits the same behavior:
<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70400">https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70400</a></pre>
