Code:

   case XI_Motion:
        return handleMotionNotify(
                static_cast<WId>(xiDeviceEvent->event),
                xiDeviceEvent->mods.base_mods,
                fixed1616ToReal(xiDeviceEvent->event_x),
                fixed1616ToReal(xiDeviceEvent->event_y));
        return true;   // <-- unreachable
    default:
        return false;

Asking from ignorance here: if the first return is invalid, would always return something (null, error, else) or would fall into the second return?

[maddin200]

return will always terminate the function so the second value (true) will be not reached.

I see. Thank you
