[PATCH] fix null pointer deref on return expression with invalid type

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If the evaluation of the return expression failed a following test
can dereference the pointer holding the expression's type ...
which is null. Bad.

Fix this by adding the missing null pointer test.
