That could mask bugs.
int func(void) {
if (this) {
return a_value;
}
else if (that) {
return another_value;
}
else if (the_other) {
return yet_another_value;
}
}
Perhaps I simply forgot to write a return statement at the end, either
before the closing } or in an else clause. Currently, a compiler is not
required to diagnose this, but many will warn about it with the right
options. If the language stated that falling off the end implicitly
returns "all-zeros" (I won't get into what that means), then the behavior
is well defined and the compiler is unlikely to be able to help.

Will write code for food.
void Void(void) { Void(); } /* The recursive call of the void */
