Currently, when typeck discovers that a return statement will refer to a
local variable it rewrites to return a null pointer. This causes the
error messages for using the return value in a constant expression to be
unhelpful, especially for reference return values.
This patch removes this "optimisation". Relying on this raises a warning
by default and causes UB anyway, so there should be no issue in doing
so. We also suppress additional warnings from later passes that detect
this as a dangling pointer, since we've already indicated this anyway.
gcc/cp/ChangeLog:
* semantics.cc (finish_return_stmt): Suppress dangling pointer
reporting on return statement if already reported.
* typeck.cc (check_return_expr): Don't set return expression to
zero for dangling addresses.
gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* g++.dg/cpp1y/constexpr-lifetime5.C: Test reported message is
correct.
* g++.dg/warn/Wreturn-local-addr-6.C: Remove check for return
value optimisation.
