* More precise warnings about function returnsXavier Leroy2017-02-071-0/+24
This commit introduces a control-flow static analysis over C abstract syntax (file cparser/Cflow.ml) and uses it to - warn for non-void functions that can return by falling through the body - warn more precisely for _Noreturn functions that can return - introduce the "return 0" in "main" functions less often (cosmetic). For the control-flow analysis, the following conservative approximations are made: - any "goto" label is reachable - all cases of a "switch" statement are reachable as soon as the "switch" is reachable (i.e. the switch expression takes all values needed to reach every case) - the boolean expressions in "if", "while", "do"-"while" and "for" can take true and false values, unless they are compile-time constants.
