From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> The function snd_mixart_create creates a link between mgr and card that allows snd_mixart_free to free card as well. But if snd_mixart_create fails, then the link has not been created and card has to be freed explicitly. The semantic match that finds the problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @r exists@ local idexpression x; statement S,S1; position p1,p2,p3; expression E,E1; type T,T1; expression *ptr != NULL; @@ ( if ((x@p1 = snd_card_new(...)) == NULL) S | x@p1 = snd_card_new(...); ) ... when != snd_card_free(...,(T)x,...) when != if (...) { <+... snd_card_free(...,(T)x,...) ...+> } when != true x == NULL || ... when != x = E when != E = (T)x when any ( if (x == NULL || ...)
