Is that because there are more places that don't do it than places that do?
Yes.. and I think just a matter of personal preference.
Because it seems to me that the right thing to do is to leave compliant code alone and bring non-compliant code into compliance with the standard, otherwise there is no standard. Thoughts?
It has already been merged and a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then. It would be tough to detangle now.
I don't think it is am important part of the coding standard, so I don't mind just removing these two sentences from the coding standard.
I prefer having the (void) present because it says to me, "Don't worry, I have thought this through and I don't need the return value." Otherwise, I am suspicious of ignored returned values.
But that is a pretty minor part of the coding standard. Greg
