# fuchsia-trailing-return

Functions that have trailing returns are disallowed, except for those using `decltype` specifiers and lambda with otherwise unutterable return types.

For example:

    // No warning
    int add_one(const int arg) { return arg; }

    // Warning
    auto get_add_one() -> int (*)(const int) {
      return add_one;
    }

Exceptions are made for lambdas and `decltype` specifiers:

    // No warning
    auto lambda = [](double x, double y) -> double {return x + y;};

    // No warning
    template <typename T1, typename T2>
    auto fn(const T1 &lhs, const T2 &rhs) -> decltype(lhs + rhs) {
      return lhs + rhs;
    }
