Return value from local scope?

Question

Bumped into some code like this in our code base... which made me worried.

int foo(int a); // Forward declaration.

int baz() {
    int result = {
         i         


        

Answer 1

I do not know of a single compiler that will accept that. Additionally, you'd be better off doing this:

int foo();
int dosomestuff();

int baz()
{
   int result = foo(dosomestuff()) ? 0 : -1;
   return result;
}
