It is also clearly correct, as checking the type "returned" by RegQueryValueEx when it fails makes no sense.
size = 0; res = RegQueryValueExW(env, var, NULL, &type, NULL, &size);
- if ((res != ERROR_MORE_DATA && res != ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) ||
type != REG_SZ)
if ((res != ERROR_MORE_DATA && res != ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) ||
(res == ERROR_SUCCESS && type != REG_SZ)){
RegCloseKey(env); return res;This is wrong. If res == ERROR_SUCCESS, then the first condition evaluates to TRUE and we fall through to exit, but then again, res will never be ERROR_SUCCESS after that particular call. Either way, I have a patch ready to send in that fixes the entire action.
--- http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724911.aspx If lpData is NULL, and lpcbData is non-NULL, the function returns ERROR_SUCCESS and stores the size of the data, in bytes, in the variable pointed to by lpcbData. This enables an application to determine the best way to allocate a buffer for the value's data. ---
Clearly a rewrite is better than changing one line, but I hope your rewrite checks for ERROR_SUCCESS and not ERROR_MORE_DATA in this case.
