From: Seija Kijin <doremylover123@xxxxxxxxx> Although at first it may seem easier to check for the same comparison that determined whether a_util or b_util is NULL or not, checking for null directly would make more sense for developers and static analysis tools, which false-flag this area specifically as having potential NULL pointers.
