Uhm, no.

Actually, the clean up routines of modules (assuming
Linux kernel modules) have "void" return type.

What seems needed is a way to write programs such that
they follow the conventions of the respective execution
environment; communication; interrupts; special locations;
and maybe return values.

This will necessarily depend on the execution environment,
I should think, which may or may not require *some*
subprogram to be a function with parameters, say.
