Completion of error handling about curl

[bagder]

vms_realwfilesize() doesn't have any fseek calls. I assume you mean the ones in operate_do(). I consider them mostly harmless. The same goes for the parse_cert_parameter strdups.

The metalink function was improved slightly in commit 3ac3331.

I suggest to avoid ignorance of return values a bit more.

Are you interested to apply aspect-oriented software development?
How do you think about to encapsulate error detection and corresponding exception handling as a reusable aspect in your software?

[bagder]

Can you identify any actual problems or bugs due to your discoveries? Can you submit a patch with your suggested fixes?

[elfring]

How do you think about to improve static source code analysis also for your software?

Do you find information sources like the following useful?

• Article "A Reusable Aspect for Memory Allocation Checking"
• Document "Aspect-Oriented Software Development - An Introduction" by Johan Brichau and Theo D'Hondt
• Paper "On Typesafe Aspect Implementations in C++" by Daniel Lohmann and Olaf Spinczyk

[bagder]

Does that mean you can't identify a problem or provide a patch?

[evert]

No, he wants to have a long-winded argument about software architecture!

[elfring]

The suggested tools can help to transform source code in various ways.
Which transformations are acceptable for you to be performed by another software tool automatically?

[bagder]

No bug then. Closed.
