Subject: [PATCH dwarves v3 3/9] dwarf_loader: Refactor initial ret -1 to be macro PARM_DEFAULT_FAIL
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 12:09:32 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320190932.1970971-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320190917.1970524-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

Later on, More macro return values will be implemented to make
code easier to understand.
