Subject: [RFC]coding style for NULL pointer checks
Date: Sun, 16 Feb 2014 13:19:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5300ACC6.90509@gmx.de> (raw)
Hi together,
I noticed, that many pointers in the IIO subsystem are checked for successful allocation in the way of "if (pointer == NULL)" or "if (pointer != NULL)", while in a few cases the form of simply "if (!pointer)" or "if (pointer)" is used. So, is there any interest in having a more consistent style, and if so, for which one?
My personal preference is for the latter one.
Thanks
Hartmut
