[PATCH v2 4/4] virDomainFormatSchedDef: Avoid false positive NULL dereference

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Okay, I admit that our code here is complex. It's not easy to
spot that NULL deref can't really happen here. So it's no wonder
that a dumb compiler fails to see all the connections and
produces the following errors:
