This change avoids lots of false positives for Coverity's CHECKED_RETURN
warning, caused by NS_WARN_IF's current use in both statement-style and
expression-style.
In the case where the code within the NS_WARN_IF has side-effects, I made the
following change.
> NS_WARN_IF(NS_FAILED(FunctionWithSideEffects()));
> -->
> Unused << NS_WARN_IF(NS_FAILED(FunctionWithSideEffects()));
In the case where the code within the NS_WARN_IF lacks side-effects, I made the
following change.
> NS_WARN_IF(!condWithoutSideEffects);
> -->
> NS_WARNING_ASSERTION(condWithoutSideEffects, "msg");
This has two improvements.
- The condition is not evaluated in non-debug builds.
- The sense of the condition is inverted to the familiar "this condition should
be true" sense used in assertions.
A common variation on the side-effect-free case is the following.
> nsresult rv = Fn();
> NS_WARN_IF_(NS_FAILED(rv));
> -->
> DebugOnly<nsresult rv> = Fn();
> NS_WARNING_ASSERTION(NS_SUCCEEDED(rv), "Fn failed");
