Hmm, yeah. I always assumed the compiler would complain or that you'd end
up with a garbage return code. But, I just checked, and indeed not only do
you not get a warning, even with -Wall -Wextra, but the compiler actually
emits code for a zero return value on your behalf. Looks weird to me
though to end an int function without a return, so I don't think I'm
going to adopt this practice myself.
