Hi This program dies with a compiler error (function result not assigned). program bar; function foo : integer; begin Writeln ('bar'); end; begin writeln (foo); end. In previous GPC versions, a warning was generated. Any reason for turning it into an error? I guess some standard requires this - right? Best regards, The Chief -------- Prof. Abimbola A.
