Subject: [PATCH dwarves v4 04/11] dwarf_loader: Refactor initial ret -1 to be macro PARM_DEFAULT_FAIL
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 18:32:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326013204.2904431-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260326013144.2901265-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>

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