Hello, For the code below, when I invoke "g++ -Wall file.cpp" with GCC version 3.3.4, I get: file.cpp: In function `int toInt(Number)': file.cpp:20: warning: control reaches end of non-void function ------------------------------------------------------------------------- enum Number { Zero, One, Two }; int toInt(const Number num) { switch(num) { case Zero: return 0; case One: return 1; case Two: return 2; } } int main() { Number num = Zero; return toInt(num); } ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't understand why the warning is issued. Isn't it fair to assume that the argument(const Number num) is correct since it is strongly typed, by being an enumerator? Cheers, Frans
