I think OP's issue here is that the current message about "control" is
intrinsically confusing. //Of course// "control can reach end of function"; if
control never reaches the end of the function, you must have an infinite loop
somewhere! The important missing piece of the current message is that control
reaches the end of the function //without encountering any return statement//.
> we're *not* saying the function contains no return statements
Not sure, but I think in this case we //are// saying that. There's a different
message, "non-void function //might// not return a value," for those other
cases.
However, if I'm wrong about that, then another wording option close to OP's
suggestion would be "non-void function does not //always// return a value" /
"non-void function might not //always// return a value."

def note_constexpr_no_return : Note<

def note_constexpr_virtual_call : Note<
----------------
I think this should remain past-tense, since it's describing a situation that
actually //did// happen during constexpr evaluation. That is, "constexpr
function did not return a value" or "control fell off the end of this function"
or some such.
