Subject: Must check what?
Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2006 12:37:53 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061004183752.GG28596@parisc-linux.org> (raw)
I'd like to propose that anyone adding __must_check markers in the
future be forced to *WRITE SOME FUCKING DOCUMENTATION* about exactly
what it is the caller is supposed to be checking.
extern int __must_check bus_register(struct bus_type * bus);
Why, thank you. Does it return 0 for success, or 1 on success? Does it
return an errno?
