Hi Bernhard,
Thanks for the feedback and bug report.
I think the correct solution would be to change that line to read:
switch ( _ConnectOnly(srcbut, dstbut, errmsg) ) {
case -1: return(-1); // ERROR
case 1: return(1); // ALREADY CONNECTED
case 0: break; // SUCCESS
}
This is because both _ConnectOnly() and Connect() are both
documented to return a tristate value of 0, 1, or -1,
respectively: Success, Already Connected, or Error.
So I don't think just != 0 is a good solution, as then
Connect() would return -1 instead of 1 for 'already connected'.
If you made the != 0 change, and also changed the return(-1)
to return(1), that still be bad if _ConnectOnly() returned a -1.
Currently _ConnectOnly()'s actual implementation doesn't
have code that returns -1, but the docs say it can; this is
so that in the future, code might be added that detects errors.
We have to trust the docs over the code.
So I think the above switch() is the best solution;
it ensures the tristate return code is preserved.
I'll make that change and test.. should be in the next release
of Fl_OpDesk.
