From 57e99b2d5e72074ee07264e6c167e444b5419c78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Darren Kenny Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2020 21:47:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] loader/bsd: Check for NULL arg up-front The code in the next block suggests that it is possible for .set to be true but .arg may still be NULL. This code assumes that it is never NULL, yet later is testing if it is NULL - that is inconsistent. So we should check first if .arg is not NULL, and remove this check that is being flagged by Coverity since it is no longer required.
