Minor bug in FreeRTOS V7

When I compile my project I get a gcc warming that two functions are defined as returning a value but in fact don’t.

The functions in question are both in queue.c and are:

signed portBASE_TYPE xQueueGenericSend( xQueueHandle xQueue, const void * const pvItemToQueue, portTickType xTicksToWait, portBASE_TYPE xCopyPosition ) PRIVILEGED_FUNCTION;
signed portBASE_TYPE xQueueGenericReceive( xQueueHandle pxQueue, void * const pvBuffer, portTickType xTicksToWait, portBASE_TYPE xJustPeeking ) PRIVILEGED_FUNCTION;

As far as I can see the return value is never used so it is not a problem, but maybe it should be corrected in the next update.

Umm, actually, both these functions do return values, so I’m not sure which code you are looking at.  Please read the comments at the top of both functions.
