Subject: [PATCH 9/14] drivers/video: Move dereference after NULL test
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2009 08:41:26 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0910170840540.9213@ask.diku.dk> (raw)
From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>
If the NULL test on fbi 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>
