Re: Question about how $rc works

Hello,

I think both statements should be work similar. There used to be some special cases regarding evaluation of function return values in if-statements, but this is not the case you are referring to below. I have not tested it if this is still the case. It was discussed e.g. here https://kamailio.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/thread/ZBSKUC3K76DWETUVGHIC3QO235TCNCYH/

Cheers,

Henning

Subject: [SR-Users] Re: Question about how $rc works

Hi All,

Just to add some context to my previous question: I'm trying to understand the difference between assigning the return value of a function to a variable directly vs assigning the “$rc” value to a variable after the function has run.

Rereading my initial email, I hope this makes my question clearer 🤣🤣

Thanks again,
Joel

Hi All,

I have a simple doubt: are these snippets the same?

One:

    secf_check_country($hdr(X-SRC-IP-CC));
    $var(secf_cc_rc) = $rc;
    if ($var(secf_cc_rc) == -2) {
    ...

Two:

    $var(secf_cc_rc) = secf_check_country($hdr(X-SRC-IP-CC));
    if ($var(secf_cc_rc) == -2) {
    ...

They both seem to work, the docs say to use option -one-.
In case they do the same, is there a reason I should pick one over the other? Or is this purely cosmetic?

Thanks,
Joel.
