Announcing that the software will run at "all major UNIX platforms" requires to follow the standards. Well, it happens during development that some extensions to a standard will be overseen. But as soon as the standard violation becomes visible one must resort to the standard. Otherwise, it will be impossible to produce qualitative software.
You should apply your own standards to yourself first, IMHO.
There may be many places where the result of the function is needed. Can the function simply be switched off? If it was so simple why has this not already been done?Things are never so simple, one must spend time to read the code in order to see if changing it can break things, and spend time to test the changes afterwards, even if reading the code lead to the idea that everything should be fine.Thanks for teaching how software is produced. Now I know what I've made wrong during the last 30 years.
I dont know what you made wrong during all this time, but I know for sure what you are doing wrong right now. If you can't see it, it's your problem, not mine.
