It will short circuit and bail out via can_add failing. So even though
you have to go dig to see if the following functions handle the erorr
I think it's slightly cleaner to have a single if (*err) in the deeper 
functions.
This lest the error back out the call chain instead of having multiple if (*err)
checks earlier in the call chains.
