<html><head></head><body>Hi,<br><br>So what do you want to do? Passing errors via errno, or some VLC-specific TLS, is even more error-prone, than using negative values, AFAICT.<br><br>Besides, the worse thing that happens is a -1 return gets mistaken for -EPERM (or whatever depending on OS), and we get a "Permission denied" error in the log.<br><br>If you prefer, we can shift all errors by -256 and reserve -1..-255 ?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">Le 20 mai 2019 15:01:08 GMT+03:00, Francois Cartegnie <fcvlcdev@free.fr> a écrit :<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
