Generally, XXX_INVALID is as bad handle as any other random value, and API calls are not expected handle it differently (if not documented otherwise). It's implementation choice if it checks for that specific value (and on which debug levels). XXX_NULL handle is specific (input) value telling that user does not give a valid handle and e.g. lets the implementation to allocate the resource. -Petri > _______________________________________________ > lng-odp mailing list > lng-odp@lists.linaro.org > http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/lng-odp _______________________________________________ lng-odp mailing list lng-odp@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/lng-odp
