#459 closed defect (fixed)

-picky shouldn't warn when other path also returns an undefined value?

Description

I'm not sure this issue can be fixed, but here it goes:

The following code:

(define (foo)
  (if condition (for-each (lambda x x) '(0 1 2))))

when compiled with '-picky', gives the following warning:

Warning: in toplevel procedure `foo':
  conditional in tail-position has branch with undefined result:

(if condition (let (... ...) (let ... ...)) (##core#undefined))

However, the other branch *also* returns an undefined result, making this particular warning a no-op in this case.

I would expect to not see this error when both branches return the same result.

Is this condition detectable?

-picky has been removed. This can not be solved without interprocedural flow analysis.
