I often write methods that take an (NSError**)error_p argument. In the documentation of Apple methods that do this, I read that the NSError** will be set if there ^is^ an error, but most do not specify what will happen if there is ^not^.


Well, when Apple code doesn't specify it will be set to NIL, one can't rely on that, so definitely rely on the return value for those.

However, when I write my own code, I like to set the error variable on NIL to indicate no error, because that's just better style. Then again, I also initialize list counters in code like:

        int x = 0;
        for( x = 0; x < maxCount(); x++ )
                ;

Simply because you'll never know who is going to insert their own code between those two lines and re-use x. Even if you work alone, you may screw up two years from now.

I greatly prefere the C99 way to do it. It prevents variables conflict if you have more than one loop in your method.

for (int idx = 0; idx < maxCount(); idx++) {

}
