return types with conditional

by Allan Adler <ara@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Mar 8, 2008 at 12:21 PM

Suppose the program is:
main() { fn1(); if (debug == 0) fn2();}
where fn2() returns int and fn1() returns int*. Since main is implicitly
being declared as returning int, is there a possible problem here? If
debug does equal 0, then the last thing to execute is fn2, which returns
the expected int. If debug does not equal 0, then the last thing to
execute
is fn1() which returns an unexpected int*.

I am describing a simplification of a piece of code I am reading by
someone
else.
