My comment was about maybe obsolescence of this API. Probably it was designed before exception introduction. For example - syntax error is ended by exception. Wrong numbers of argument is signalized by error status. I didn't study this code, but maybe was much more effective to raise exceptions inside SPI instead return status code. These errors are finished by exceptions, but these exceptions coming from different places. For me it looks strange, if some functions returns error status, but can be ended by exception too.
