Hello, Several functions for a programming language like C are designed in the way that values are returned by an integral data type. Specific value ranges can indicate then a failed function call. A well-known variant of this design pattern is that negative return values represent failures (while the other values can be used for succesful data processing. Can the semantic patch language help any more to determine the list of functions which use this style of error reporting in a selected code base?
