why return false ?

hi, there

why return false at the end of the function?

bool
Glacier2::RequestQueue::addRequest(const RequestPtr& request)
{
IceUtil::Monitor<IceUtil::Mutex>::Lock lock(*this);

assert(!_destroy);

for(vector<RequestPtr>::iterator p = _requests.begin(); p != _requests.end(); ++p)
{
//
// If the new request overrides an old one, then abort the old
// request and replace it with the new request.
//
if(request->override(*p))
{
*p = request;
return true;
}
}

//
// No override, we add the new request.
//
_requests.push_back(request);
notify();
return false;
}

I'm afraid explaining the internal workings of Glacier2 on the function level is out of the scope of the support we can give here on these forums...

hi, Marc,
Sorry for my carelessness. I read the codes again and understand it now.
Thanks any way.
