Summary

0002235: Functions that claim to return a struct but don't cause a crash

Description

If a function returns a struct in its declaration, but it's method body does not return anything, Frama-C will warn about not finding a return value, and then crash.

While the kernel does warn you this is an issue, no invalid operation on the user's part should cause a crash. Instead, it should cause a user error.

Steps To Reproduce

== File bug.c:

struct s {
    int i;
};

struct s foo() {}

== Run command:

frama-c bug.c

== Output:

[kernel] Parsing FRAMAC_SHARE/libc/__fc_builtin_for_normalization.i (no preprocessing)
[kernel] Parsing bug.c (with preprocessing)
bug2.c:5:[kernel] warning: Body of function foo falls-through and cannot find an appropriate return value
bug2.c:5:[kernel] failure: Found return without value in function foo
[kernel] Current source was: bug.c:5
         The full backtrace is:

         Frama-C aborted: internal error.
         Please report as 'crash' at http://bts.frama-c.com/.
         Your Frama-C version is Aluminium-20160501.
         Note that a version and a backtrace alone often do not contain enough
         information to understand the bug. Guidelines for reporting bugs are at:
         http://bts.frama-c.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=mantis:frama-c:bug_reporting_guidelines

Additional Information

Tested with Aluminum on Linux 64-bit.

Notes
~0006310 yakobowski (manager) 2016-12-08 10:23	Indeed. This is a limitation of Frama-C, that does not allow a function declared as non-void to not return something. We will turn the crash into a hard error.

~0006312 virgile (developer) 2016-12-12 10:02	Fixed by commit b6ab86c71f70542a73b705bb5d60f2492e87663e
