[Moved to DR at the April, 2013 meeting.]
Proposed resolution (October, 2012):
Change 8.7.4 [stmt.return] paragraph 2 as follows:
A return statement with neither an expression nor a braced-init-list can be used only in functions that do not return a value, that is, a function with the return type cv void, a constructor (11.4.5 [class.ctor]), or a destructor (11.4.7 [class.dtor]). A return statement with an expression of non-void type...
According to 8.7.4 [stmt.return] paragraph 3,
A return statement with neither an expression nor a braced-init-list can be used only in functions that do not return a value, that is, a function with the return type void, a constructor (11.4.5 [class.ctor]), or a destructor (11.4.7 [class.dtor]).
However, paragraph 3 allows a return type of cv void in cases where the expression in the return statement has type void. Should paragraph 2 follow suit?
