SubjectA CodingStyle suggestion
From
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,
--
