Bug description:

[Test case]
Check that there are no further cases on the error tracker with the proposed
version.
[Regression potential]
Given that this just changes the return type of a function only used in
calls, and the code compiles, there should be no possibility for a regression.
Of course, if there were, it'd be segfaults or stuff.
