So true.
If 0 is the expected ret value and 1 is the expected function return for not-errored use, I suggest changing the last bit to:
if (ret < 0) return BP_NOT_CAP; else if (ret > 0) return 0;
return 1;
so that the error conditions are done first and the normal return is at the bottom of the function.
