Yes, it's better to leave it to the committer on whether to have the "return;".
But, I think at least removing "return;" which is at the *end* of the function will not cause any warning.
Such as:
+ return; /* keep compiler quiet */
}
So, I'd vote for at least removing the comment " keep the compiler quiet ".
