[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] main_loop: Make main_loop_wait() return void

[Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>]

In commit e330c118f2a5a the last usage of main_loop_wait() that cared
about the return value was changed to no longer use it. Drop the
now-useless return value and make the function return void.

Coverity complains (CID 1372464) about main_loop() calling
main_loop_wait() and ignoring its return value. I suspect
this change will just displace that to within main_loop_wait()
itself since the underlying issue there is "the ppoll() that
gets called to poll fds can return an error code, but what
do we do if it does?". Suggestions on that point welcome.

I guess this will make the compiler warn about ret being
set and never used if CONFIG_SLIRP is not defined, which
is irritating. I'm postponing messing about with fixing
that in favour of seeing whether anybody has a good answer
to the question above (which might make it moot).
