[libnftnl PATCH 3/4] flowtable: Correctly check realloc() call

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

 



If realloc() fails, it returns NULL but the original pointer is
untouchted and therefore still has to be freed. Unconditionally
overwriting the old pointer is therefore a bad idea, use a temporary
variable instead.
