Can we have some commentary in the commit message about why this change?

Trying to understand the 0 -> OK change. OK is static const presult OK = "output produced"; so i guess something else must have changed before the change? only reference i can find is in #2548 (comment). Will digg more later.

Yeah, I see that, but I'm not sure why that's needed, and anyways, there's places where we look for OK that need to be changed correspondingly.

iirc the reason for this is fairly straightforward, which is that in the below block of jv_parse.c:

jv jv_parser_next(struct jv_parser* p) {
...
  while (!msg && p->curr_buf_pos < p->curr_buf_length) {
    ...
    msg = scan(p, ch, &value);
  }

the desired behavior, when a comment is encountered, is to simply ignore it and keep on going. Therefore the while loop must keep on going, which requires that !msg is true. Any other result will break the while loop, which would be incorrect.

That said, given that the return type of scan() is a pointer, it might be better for the scan_xxx() functions to all return NULL where they currently are returning of 0.

@liquidaty thanks for the explanation. think i tried to return OK instead when played around a bit with the code and pretty sure it also worked for some reason, was confusing

Maybe it would be useful to define IGNORE_AND_CONTINUE as a presult equal to NULL (or alternatively, not null, with other corresponding changes e.g. !msg becomes msg == IGNORE_AND_CONTINUE)
