Completion of error handling

[elfring]

Would you like to add more error handling for return values from functions like the following?

• fclose ⇒ WriteToFile‎
• malloc ⇒ main

Hi @elfring

Very few codebases which I have seen seem to care about checking for fclose()'s return value -- so I think we can skip that.

As for malloc, we should be using fxmalloc() instead, so if you wanted to send a patch through for that, I'd appreciate it.

• 🤔 How do you think about to improve static source code analysis also for this software?
• 🔮 How will chances evolve to benefit any more also from the means of aspect-oriented software development?

[ThomasAdam]

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking with your second point -- this project doesn't use aspect-oriented software design.

💭 I suggest to avoid ignorance of return values a bit more.
Would you like to detect every error situation as early as possible?

🔮 Will interests grow for the application of higher level development tools?
