From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> symstrs has already been tested. It seems that this test should be on the recently returned value secstrs. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @r exists@ local idexpression x; expression E; @@ if (x == NULL || ...) { ... when forall return ...; } ... when != \(x=E\|x--\|x++\|--x\|++x\|x-=E\|x+=E\|x|=E\|x&=E\|&x\) ( *x == NULL | *x != NULL ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- tools/perf/util/symbol.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/symbol.c b/tools/perf/util/symbol.c index 2810605..b4fe057 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/symbol.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/symbol.c @@ -565,7 +565,7 @@ static int dso__load_sym(struct dso *self, int fd, const char *name, goto out_elf_end; secstrs = elf_getdata(sec_strndx, NULL); - if (symstrs == NULL) + if (secstrs == NULL) goto out_elf_end; nr_syms = shdr.sh_size / shdr.sh_entsize; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
