The empty 'return;' statement in a void function should be
used to return from somewhere else than the end.

Changes for v2
 -remove only return statement instead of empty err label
  which can be used in the future

Not exactly what I meant. Just drop the whole line include semicolon.

gcc doesn't support a goto label without a

err:
}

fails to compile.
