If the NULL test on block is needed, it should be before the dereference of
the base field.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@r@
expression E1,E2;
identifier fld;
statement S1,S2;
@@
E1 = E2->fld;
(
if (E1 == NULL) S1 else S2
|
*if (E2 == NULL) S1 else S2
)
// </smpl>
