readability-redundant-control-flow

This check looks for procedures (functions returning no value) with return statements at the end of the function. Such return statements are redundant.

Loop statements (for, while, do while) are checked for redundant continue statements at the end of the loop body.

Examples:

The following function f contains a redundant return statement:

extern void g();
void f() {
  g();
  return;
}

becomes

extern void g();
void f() {
  g();
}

The following function k contains a redundant continue statement:

void k() {
  for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
    continue;
  }
}

becomes

void k() {
  for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
  }
}
