Subject: [PATCH 10/12] fs/xfs: Correct redundant test
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2009 18:15:25 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0907271815060.2682@ask.diku.dk> (raw)

From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

bp was tested for NULL a few lines before, followed by a return, and there
is no intervening modification of its value.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression x;
expression E;
position p1,p2;
@@

if (x == NULL || ...) { ... when forall
   return ...; }
... when != \(x=E\|x--\|x++\|--x\|++x\|x-=E\|x+=E\|x|=E\|x&=E\|&x\)
(
*x == NULL
|
*x != NULL
)
// </smpl>
