Subject: avl: guard against theoretical null pointer dereference
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9b6ede0e5312071400e6b009c6b92413061bbfaa;p=project%2Flibubox.git

avl: guard against theoretical null pointer dereference

clang-10 analyzer reports following:

 avl.c:671:25: warning: Access to field 'parent' results in a dereference of a null pointer (loaded from field 'right')
     node->right->parent = parent;
           ~~~~~         ^

Which seems to be impossible to trigger via exported AVL public API, but
it could be probably trigerred by fiddling with the AVL tree node struct
members manually as they are exposed.
