Subject: [patch] move dereference after null check
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:55:43 +0200 (SAST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.00.0911081949070.11108@bicker> (raw)

I moved the ops->inherits dereference below the null check.  I moved the 
other assignment as well so that they would be together.

Found by smatch static checker.

regards,
dan carpenter
