compiles fine...

Is it possible to "return ;" in a function that return void???

Yes, and it's oftentimes very useful:

Code:

void func()
{
  if(!condition)
    return;

  // Several lines of code follow
}

If you couldn't return; then the several lines of code would have to be contained in the if(), which IMHO, makes the function harder to read.

Heh. That reminds me of Microsoft:

Code:

if (SUCCEEDED(hr)
{
	//...
	if (SUCCEEDED(hr)
	{
		//...
		if (SUCCEEDED(hr)
		{
			//...
			if (SUCCEEDED(hr)
			{
				//...
				// and so on
			}
		}
	}
}
