I would expect that this warning does not exist, because omitting the return-statement in
"main" is perfectly valid in C++: (C++-Standard, 3.6.1.3)
"If control reaches the end of main without encountering a return statement, the
effect is that of executing return 0;"
For other functions, g++ also emits a warning if you forget the return
statement.
