Hi all,
In CodingStyle Chapter 16 "Function return value and names", why not adding a comment about the favorable community way of checking the return value. ie:
ret = do_method(); if (ret) { /* deal with error */ }
and not other ways like:
if (do_method()) or if ((ret = do_method()) > value) ...
A patch is ready if the replies are positive.
Thanks, -- Ahmed S.
