[asterisk-dev] Reverse decrement of call counter

[Rizwan Hisham]

I want to rephrase my question here.

As you can see in the code which i mentioned in my last email that for
decrementing the call-limit value they are actually incrementing it, and
some how it is called reverse decrementing. I need to know What is the
reason for doing that. Under what circumstances this IF condition gets
executed?

Since nobody has answered my questions lately, i need to know y. Am i asking
too difficult questions or too vague questions?
