[cfe-dev] Strange return value of Sema::CheckFunctionReturnType

[Keane, Erich via cfe-dev]

I dug through this a bit.  It is pretty clearly a bug, however I was unable to get this line to actually be hit.  It seems that GetFullTypeForDeclarator gets called before this, and fails it first.  I'm, not sure HOW we could possibly reproduce this, since there doesn't seem to be a code path that would hit this before GetFullTypeForDeclarator.

Perhaps it would be valid to fix it for 'correctness' sake, and forgive its lack of test?

Neither have I, but I'm pretty sure that it can't be TERRIBLY hard...
