Subject: [PATCH 4/14] drivers/message: Move dereference after NULL test
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2009 08:34:18 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0910170833480.9213@ask.diku.dk> (raw)

From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

If the NULL test on dev->i2o_dev or i2o_dev is needed, then the dereference
should be after the NULL test.

A simplified version of the semantic match that detects this problem is as
follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/):

// <smpl>
@match exists@
expression x, E;
identifier fld;
@@

* x->fld
  ... when != \(x = E\|&x\)
* x == NULL
// </smpl>
