Behavior

• The public identifier BSL064 and alias ProcedureReturnsValue are stable.
• The rule reports the cases documented on this page.
• Suppressions and project configuration are applied before publication.
• The rule requires neither an external analyzer nor network access.

Configuration and suppression

BSL### is the primary stable identifier. The compatible alias is accepted in select, ignore, and compatible block suppression comments.

[tool.onec-hbk-bsl]
select = ["BSL064"]
ignore = ["ProcedureReturnsValue"]

All three suppression families support both a current line and a range. When an opening comment follows code, it affects only that line. Use any one form:

• noqa:

Value = "example";  // noqa: BSL064

• bsl-disable:

Value = "example";  // bsl-disable: BSL064

• compatible BSLLS form:

Value = "example";  // BSLLS:ProcedureReturnsValue-off

When the same opening comment is on a line by itself, it starts a range. Close it with the matching marker from the same family:

// noqa: BSL064
// code without this diagnostic
// noqa-enable: BSL064

// bsl-disable: BSL064
// code without this diagnostic
// bsl-enable: BSL064

// BSLLS:ProcedureReturnsValue-off
// code without this diagnostic
// BSLLS:ProcedureReturnsValue-on

To disable the rule until the end of the file, omit the closing noqa-enable, bsl-enable, or BSLLS:…-on marker.

Opening and closing markers must belong to the same family.

Description

Procedure, unlike a Function cannot return values. This diagnostic finds procedures where there is a Return statement with a value.
