Title: methods need RETURN
Post by: Bruce Peaslee on December 27, 2005, 05:12:47 PM
I don't think I've seen it here, but a warning: forgetting to put a return in your overridden method can cause the program to crash (i.e., just disappear).

Yes, it's the same as IBasic where a closing brace (ENDSUB) doesn't automatically return, which I think it does in C when a function returns "void" (nothing).

The compiler does give a warning that you've forgotten it.  A method is a subroutine.

It does. My point is that you should heed it.ÂÃ,  ;)

I have changed the parser so it will automatically add the return for functions that don't return a value.  Much like C++ does.

Yes! No need to put "return;" at the end anymore! Just something that bugged me I guess...

Hey thats cool. Never thought that would be an optional thing to put if your not returning anything.
