some dead code in functioncmds.c

Hello

I found some strange code. Is code in "ELSE" part dead, or its bug?

if (stmt->returnType)
{
/* explicit RETURNS clause */
compute_return_type(stmt->returnType, languageOid,
&prorettype, &returnsSet);
if (OidIsValid(requiredResultType) && prorettype != requiredResultType)
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_INVALID_FUNCTION_DEFINITION),
errmsg("function result type must be %s because of OUT parameters",
format_type_be(requiredResultType))));
}
else if (OidIsValid(requiredResultType))
{
/* default RETURNS clause from OUT parameters */
prorettype = requiredResultType;
returnsSet = false;
}
else
{
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_INVALID_FUNCTION_DEFINITION),
errmsg("function result type must be specified")));
/* Alternative possibility: default to RETURNS VOID */

/* WHY FOLOWING LINES? */
prorettype = VOIDOID;
returnsSet = false;
}

Regards
Pavel
