Every codepath of the preceding case ends with a "return blah". This is true for the entire function - every case of every switch in the function ends with "return blah". The entire purpose of the function is to determine the flags value, and there are no resources that need cleaning up before returning, so as soon as the value is determined, it immediately returns. I suppose it could be rewritten to change all of those into "ret = blah; break;", then "return ret;" at the end, but it seemed safer to return immediately than to trust that no new code would be added later in the function (and also it's more compact) I wonder if this is just a more extreme case of the logic in whatever check necessitated that I add an extra "return 0" at the very end of the function. (that happens even in gcc 6.x; at an earlier point when the function was simpler, that wasn't needed, but after some additions it started producing the "control reaches end of function that requires a return value" or whatever that warning is, and the only way to eliminate it was with the extra return 0.) If adding the break shuts up the warning, then I guess ACK, but it would probably be better if 1) gcc fixed their incorrect warning, or 2) we switched the entire function to use the less-compact "ret = blah; break;" style instead of returning directly, so there wasn't a single stray break sitting in the middle.
