Leetcode 268 Missing Number

class Solution {
public:
    int missingNumber(vector<int>& nums) {
        
        sort( nums.begin(), nums.end() );
        if( nums[nums.size()-1] != nums.size() )
            return nums.size();
        else if( nums[0] != 0 )
            return 0;
        
        int l = 0, r = nums.size()-1;
        while( l <= r ){
            
            int mid = l + (r-l) / 2;
            if( nums[mid] != mid ){
                if( nums[mid-1] == mid-1 )
                    return mid;
                else
                    r = mid - 1;
            }else
                l = mid + 1;
        }
        
        return -1; //就是这个地方，记得return
    }
};

在逻辑无错的情况下，如果在该函数的末尾忘记写return语句（虽然在中间已经有return语句了），仍然会出现编译报错：control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]，会在函数块最后有高亮的显示。
