Simply put, your check_prime() function has all of the return statements inside if statements. The compiler believes it is theoretically possible (even if not logically possible - remember, compilers are stupid) that the function could execute without ever hitting a return statement. It treats this as a warning, and the make command says to treat all warnings as errors.

There should be at least one return statement that will execute without having to satisfy a condition, as a catchall return. Generally, if the function is looking to validate that something is true, then the catchall should return false. If returning other types, you'll need to consider what is appropriate.
