------- Comment #1 from jvdelisle at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-01-06 02:11 ------- I can see where one could interpret the word 'result' to mean an action as opposed to a value returned. In that sense, its not an error to return an error.
Still I think it would be best to do the natural thing and return the equivalent 8 bits. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30389
