Is this something that could be done with a coccinelle script?
Almost enough to do this:
@@
identifier fn;
expression E;
@@
void fn(...)
{
...
-return
E;
}
It takes a long time to run though, and does some wrong things as well:
if the return is in the middle of the function, it still matches and
removes it erroneously.
