I got an error for "missingReturn" from a function that returns void, for example:
void Increment(unsigned &i)
{
++i;
} <--- missingReturn : path out of non-void-returning function
Of course I was puzzled by this since the function returns void, but then I looked in the header file and I saw that the function was declared as follows:
int Increment(unsigned &);
So this mismatch in function declaration and definition has confused Cppcheck. I consider this a bug that needs to be fixed. Cppcheck should give an error when it encounters a function with identical signature except for return type.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
