Line of code has no effect (original) (raw)

https://github.com/real-logic/simple-binary-encoding/blob/e38fc29ba75cb44c10042549844562a34b29eeb1/sbe-tool/src/main/cpp/otf/Encoding.h#L164

This line has no effect, as it is followed by the return statement, and will be optimized by the compiler, so it is a minor rubbish in code or the intention is not defined correctly and it can cause an error somewhere in user code.
