Typically, the return value desired for the failure of a function with an
integer return value is a negative integer. In these cases, the return
value is sometimes a negative integer and sometimes 0, due to a subsequent
initialization of the return variable within the loop.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is:

//<smpl>
