I proposed to do (void) fsm_set_and_search by looking at lot of other places (more than few 100) in the code base like (void) defGetBoolean(def) (void) hv_iterinit(obj) (void) set_config_option( and so on. I'm not sure whether having consistent code in a few hundred places amounts to a standard practice. > In this case I'd actually split the function in two, one that returns > void and one that always returns a value to be consumed. This > overloading is a bit confusing. Thanks. I don't want to go in that direction. Instead I choose to withdraw the proposal here and let the fsm_set_and_search function usage be as is.
