'void' function returning a value

[thegoodideaco]

I'm getting an unusual error:

./src/hxtelemetry/CppHxTelemetry.cpp(140) : error C2562: 'hxtelemetry::CppHxTelemetry_obj::dump_telemetry_frame' : 'void' function returning a value

this is running on: hxcpp-debugger: git [dev:C:\HaxeToolkit\haxe\lib\hxcpp-debugger/git] hxcpp: 3.2.205 [3.3.49] git hxtelemetry: [0.3.3] lime: 2.9.0 [2.9.1] 3.0.3 openfl: 3.6.0 [3.6.1]

Huh, I feel like I've seen that before... I believe it's in reference to this code: https://github.com/jcward/hxtelemetry/blob/master/hxtelemetry/CppHxTelemetry.hx#L82-L188

But the only return statement in that block is return; -- it doesn't appear to be returning a value. Maybe look in your output folder at: ./src/hxtelemetry/CppHxTelemetry.cpp around line 140 and see what's there -- a return statement returning something? Maybe it's an older version of hxtelemetry?

Works by using the git version of hxtelemetry, the haxelib version throws that error

[jcward]

Ah, @mastef - thanks for the note! I'll try to push up the latest to haxelib today.

Ok, I've pushed the latest to haxelib. I'm going to close this issue. Feel fee to comment / reopen if it's still a problem.

On 0.3.4 I'm getting what seems to be the opposite of this error:

./src/hxtelemetry/CppHxTelemetry.cpp:240:33: error: non-void function 'dump_telemetry_frame' should return a value [-Wreturn-type]
if (frame==0 || output==null()) return;

After downgrading to 0.3.3 this error disappeared.

[jcward]

Weird, there seem to be cases where it wants a return null(); and cases where it wants a return; at this line.

I've just replaced it with an if clause (no return statement at all.) Hopefully fixes everyone. Pushed 0.3.5 to haxelib.

Hehe, I got with Haxe 3.4.2, hxcpp git

Error: CppHxTelemetry.cpp
./src/hxtelemetry/CppHxTelemetry.cpp(134): error C2562: 'hxtelemetry::CppHxTelemetry_obj::dump_telemetry_frame': 'void' function returning a value
./src/hxtelemetry/CppHxTelemetry.cpp(121): note: see declaration of 'hxtelemetry::CppHxTelemetry_obj::dump_telemetry_frame'

code in CppHxTelemetry.cpp(134) is

if (frame==0 || output==null()) return null();

Edit: reinstalling hxtelemetry solved it!

Phew! I was about to lose my mind with this bug. :grin:
