[PATCHES] ecpg: fix ECPGstore_input()

2005-07-06 Thread Neil Conway
This patch fixes the following issues in ECPGstore_input(): - strlen() was invoked on the NULL pointer for the first iteration of the loop (line 875, 923, 966, 1009) - `nval' is freed for every iteration of the loop at 864, but only initialized once outside the loop, resulting in potential

Per EDB's Coverity analysis, runtimeKeyInfo is only non-NULL if econtext is also non-NULL, so we can eliminate a conditional on the former by moving it inside an if block for the latter. Per discussion of earlier similar changes, this is not for performance reasons but for code clarity.
