Subject: [PATCH] selftest:net: Fix uninit pointers and return values
Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2025 17:13:57 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250929114356.25261-2-sidharthseela@gmail.com> (raw)
Fix uninitialized character pointers, and functions that return
undefined values. These issues were caught by running clang using LLVM=1
option; and are as follows:
--
ovpn-cli.c:1587:6: warning: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
1587 | if (!sock) {
| ^~~~~
ovpn-cli.c:1635:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here
1635 | return ret;
| ^~~
ovpn-cli.c:1587:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always false
1587 | if (!sock) {
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
1588 | fprintf(stderr, "cannot allocate netlink socket\n");
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1589 | goto err_free;
