23.6.23 Improper_Returns

Flag each explicit return statement in procedures, and multiple return statements in functions. Diagnostic messages are generated for all return statements in a procedure (thus each procedure must be written so that it returns implicitly at the end of its statement part), and for all return statements in a function after the first one. This rule supports the stylistic convention that each subprogram should have no more than one point of normal return.

This rule has no parameters.
