On FW/1, do I need to return after doing a redirect?

I have a function in a controller that looks something like this

void function edit(required struct rc) output="false"   {

   ...

   if (...) {

      ArrayAppend(rc.message, "<b>Error:</b> Something did not work right.");

      variables.fw.redirect(".home", "all");
      return;  // ?
      } 

   }

Do I need to return or does the redirect imply returning?

Solution

  • If you look at the redirect method in the FW/1 source, you'll see it just does a regular cflocation. That means, page execution will not proceed past that line of code so the return should be unnecessary.
