Subject: [1/3] insert_resource can succeed and return an error
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2004 23:51:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040318235137.GI25059@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20040318235024.GH25059@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk>


If we start again, we can return an error even if we were successful.
Reset the result to 0 before beginning again.  Why don't we use a
tailcall here?

"Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon 
the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those
conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse
to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince 
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep 
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
