As a result it needs to know what it is clearly what appears in return statements. Any incorrectly defined or undefined returns for C or C++ functions will result in invalid instrumentation. Should you notice your that instrumented file.i contains incorrect SegHit() placements, please check to make sure that your #includes's are found on the path and are valid.
