<div>That is a great idea – I like the fact that the signatures become more consistent with the rest of the library as well.</div>

<div>Hello,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would like to propose that we change the signatures of the destroy routines such that they return getdns_return_t.</div>
<ul>
<li>getdns_return_t getdns_context_destroy</li><li>getdns_return_t getdns_dict_destroy</li><li>getdns_return_t getdns_list_destroy</li></ul>
<div>This would especially be useful in getdns_context_destroy since implementations may decide that destroying a context within a callback is allowed or not. There are some fun edge cases we’ve been dealing with regarding this. Also, it keeps the API consistent
with the other methods.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thoughts?</div>
