>
> Although the allocator free method returns void, you've made the free
> methods of objects return an axis2_status_t. However, your code almost
> always seems to ignore the returned status. Either
> a) free methods should return a status and all callers should always
> check it and deal with, or
> b) free methods should return void
> I would suggest (b). There's nothing useful you can do with an error
> from a free method, and there's no need for the user supplied free
> function to return an error. The situation where free might need to
> generate an error are the case where memory has got corrupted through
> programmer error, but a return code isn't the right way to deal wit this
> situation.
