[Gretl-devel] Re: function execution in 'if' statement

Hi, this is a point I don't understand and frequently stumble over. Function main() calls checker(). When checker() is called first, it correctly prints the message "Some error message" and correctly returns 1. When checker() is called within the conditional-statement,  <if checker(1)>, it also returns correctly 1 which triggers printing the message "Check returned some other error". However, printing the checker's message "Some error message" 'fails' or is not done. Why is this the case?
