[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v1 13/13] ui: mix misleading comments & return types of VNC I/O helper methods

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@redhat.com>]

While the QIOChannel APIs for reading/writing data return ssize_t, with negative
value indicating an error, the VNC code passes this return value through the
vnc_client_io_error() method. This detects the error condition, disconnects the
client and returns 0 to indicate error. Thus all the VNC helper methods should
return size_t (unsigned), and misleading comments which refer to the possibility
of negative return values need fixing.
