Bug#336406: g++-4.0: problem when string function fails to return string

[Ross Johnson <ross@homemail.org>]

Package: g++-4.0
Version: 4.0.2-2
Severity: normal


In the following 4-line program, Test() fails to return a string
(as promised) and no compiler warning is given.  If executed,
this program seg faults.  It seems to me that either the compiler
should provide a warning or the string library should not crash.

#include <string>
using namespace std;
string Test (int i) { }
main (int argc, char *argv[]) { Test(0); }
