Subject: [PATCH] component: remove impossible condition
Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2016 12:57:53 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1454398073-5161-1-git-send-email-sudipm.mukherjee@gmail.com> (raw)
We will be evaluating this condition only if match->num == match->alloc
and that means we have already dereferenced match which implies match
can not be NULL at this point.
Moreover we have done a NULL check on match just before this.
