Hi Laurent, thanks for reviewing! > If no entity is found by this loop the next line will dereference a NULL > pointer. There's a similar issue below.

Probably other people will send patches for this same issue in the future too, i.e. until this warning is not there anymore. Do you have any suggestions or should we just leave this alone? :) Maybe: if (iterm) pin = iterm->id This line will return an error if the iterm is not found anyway: if (iterm == NULL || iterm->id != pin) return -EINVAL Let me know what you think - Daniel
