Yes, it is not in the CodingStyle file. But mostly it is the convention
that is followed. And in CodingStyle file if you see the "The rationale
for using gotos is:" section, you will see in the example function the
test is done like: if (!buffer).
Anyways, frankly speaking I know commit message is bad but I could not
think of anything else other than the one I wrote. Any ideas please...
