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

Because it's a non-pointer simple type, the exact value will be returned and so the return behavior is defined. That block is... really strange though, and I'm surprised there's a C compiler that won't choke on it out there.
