V591 Non-void function should return a value. chrono.h 110


enum class Domain
{
  // boring host clock:
  Host,
  // adheres to guest scaling
  // (differrent speed, changing clock drift etc):
  Guest
};

template <Domain domain_>
struct NtSystemClock
{
  ....
  [[nodiscard]] static time_point now() noexcept
  {
    if constexpr (domain_ == Domain::Host)
    {
      // QueryHostSystemTime() returns
      // windows epoch times even on POSIX
      return from_file_time(Clock::QueryHostSystemTime());
    }
    else if constexpr (domain_ == Domain::Guest)
    {
      return from_file_time(Clock::QueryGuestSystemTime());
    }
  }
  ....
};

Inside the function, the domain_ data member is checked against the enum elements. While there are only two values, just like in the check, we can't be sure that there won't be extra elements in the future. Therefore, we should make the function always return a value for all execution branches, or the code should not compile.
