Rule 16.8 and 14.7

[misra-c]

Rule 14.7 requires that a function have a single point of exit. However if the rule is deviated, a function might have multiple points of exit. In this case, it is still important that each point of exit in a non-void function return a value. So, Rule 16.8 should be interpreted as applying to *all* points of exit even though this will usually be a single point of exit.
