I'm not sure what you are suggesting. Is every case of return f(...); for any f wrong? Or is it a particular function that is of concern? Or would it be that every function call that has error handling somewhere should have error handling everywhere? Or is it related to what seems to be the problem in the above code that err is initialized but nothing happens to it? julia _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
