I do not think you need either 1/3 or 2/3 to see that (I actually
think it is easier to see this without 2/3). The caller passes
patch->old_name and
- if that is NULL, then we will either get NULL or a new string
from find_name(); either way, we do not have to worry about
calling free() on the original NULL;
- if that is not NULL, then the only possible value returned from
the function is itself (otherwise it will die()), so we won't be
calling free() in this code.
so I agree with the conclusion, i.e. the conditional free() can go
from these places.
