Summary: not returning in nonvoid functions

Initial Comment:
Should the compiler check whatever a nonvoid function 

is returning or not?

I think it should be checked. Because a small mistake 

(forgetting to write "return something" which is 

accepted currently by the compiler), may lead to an 

impossible-to-be-tracked-down bug.

I show the problem in a very very small programm that 

always crashes.



***************CODE***************

#include <deque>

#include <string>

using namespace std;



deque<string> func1()

{



}



int main(int argc, char *argv[])

{



  func1();

  return 0;

}

***************END_OF_CODE***************

Just add -Wall  to get that (and most other) warnings.  

Use gcc -v --help to get a list of  the warnings that you can 

ask for.
