Like Brad said, it's really not a good idea to introduce yet another method of error handling. Also, the Status class does achieve more than just being a fancy error code. It allows clear distinction between return values and error values, which is something not always guaranteed by the "return null/false" strategy. *-- * *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2016 Major in Computer Science _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
