Consider the following snippet:
请考虑以下代码段:
void f(void);
void g(…)
{
…
return f();
…
}
Is this return f();
valid according to C11?
这是返回f();根据C11有效吗?
I am not advocating using this pattern: if it works at all, it is obviously equivalent to f(); return;
(where the return;
itself would be redundant if this is at the end of function g()
). I am asking this question in the context of the static analysis of C programs, where the C code has already been written by someone else and the question is deciding whether or not it is valid according to the standard.
我并不主张使用这种模式:如果它起作用,它显然等同于f();返回; (返回;如果它在函数g()的末尾,则本身将是多余的)。我在C程序的静态分析的上下文中问这个问题,其中C代码已经由其他人编写,问题是根据标准判断它是否有效。
I would interpret C11 6.8.6.4:1 as meaning that it is non-standard and should be statically rejected. Is it possible to interpret it differently (I have found this pattern in actual and otherwise high-quality source code)?
我认为C11 6.8.6.4:1意味着它是非标准的并且应该被静态拒绝。是否有可能以不同的方式解释它(我在实际和其他高质量的源代码中找到了这种模式)?
Constraints
约束
A return statement with an expression shall not appear in a function whose return type is void. A return statement without an expression shall only appear in a function whose return type is void.
带有表达式的return语句不应出现在返回类型为void的函数中。不带表达式的return语句只能出现在返回类型为void的函数中。

返回后的任何东西都是表达式。

is also an expression here. The compiler should raise a warning
f()也是这里的一个表达式。编译器应该发出警告
