     Compiler error C2617
 
     'function' : inconsistent return statement
 
     The specified function did not have a return type declared, and
     a previous return statement did not supply a value.
 
     The function's return type should be declared.
 
     The following is an example of this error:
 
          int i;
          func()                   // no return type prototype
          {
             if( i ) return;       // no return value
             else return( 1 );     // error detected on this line
          }
