You are responding to a robot and I think we all understood that this warning was there before you renamed the variables. > I think, with the use of shorter variable name now memcpy() is taking 1 line instead of 3 lines. So, now line 937 has different code line(as code is swifted up by few lines).So because of that new potential NULL dereference error is popped up for same existing code. > The code to validate dynamically allocated memory before access, will be include in separate patch to keep it segregated from variable names changes. > I will rework on this patch and resend again. There is no need to re-work the patch. You are right that the NULL check should be added as a separate check. regards, dan carpenter
