[spice-common 7/8] quic: Remove test which is always TRUE

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

 



find_model_params() is first dereferencing nbuckets when setting
it to 0, and then it checks it for NULL. The NULL-check will never trigger
as if the pointer was NULL, we'd crash when we dereference it.
This commit removes the redundant test, but adds an assert so that we
catch this condition if it ever happens.
