We can't. There are historical cases that simply don't check if a signal should be sent after the function, and they exist for every function that is modified. If we can modify the code so that everyone is checking the return value than certainly, but that just doesn't happen to reflect how this ptrace helper is being used today. > With that and the style nit Oleg already mentioned, yeah, this looks > good too.
