Problem
Starting with GCC 9 not returning a value from a function declared to return non-void type will cause a hardfault. This is easily overlooked in applications where warnings are not promoted to errors by defaults.
Solution
Force -Wreturn-type to always trigger an error even if building applications where warnings are not promoted to errors.
Steps to Test
Test app should fail to build with an error.
