Good catch, but that fix is usually seen as bad practice.

The warning is a false positive because the code path which would lead 
to returning an undefined value can never happen. There is just no way 
the compiler could know that.

I suggest to better initialize the return value directly before the 
error handling to indicate that when we have reached this point we can 
return success safely.

Christian.
