This ret variable pattern is pretty standard in Linux, as it makes it easier to add new code that may trigger new errors (using the usual "goto forest" error handling pattern) I don't see any benefit in whole-sale removing it. The compiler doesn't care about it and will generate the same code in any case. -Andi -- [email protected] -- Speaking for myself only _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
