Re: Clang Checkers

Hi,

here is an old response that got lost in my mail client... As we say in 
France, better late than never...


 >>>>>>>>

report for dead assignment in modules/proxy/mod_proxy_ftp.c is interesting.

IMO, either there is a real bug there or the code need to be cleaned up 
because some part of it can never trigger.


In the huge function' proxy_send_dir_filter', there is a 'if' block 
between line 678 and line 727.
In this block 2 variables, searchidx and firstfile, are declared and used.

However, being variable local to the if block, they are initialized 
*every* time we reach line 681.
So :

     - firstfile:
         - line 681: initialized to 1
         - line 704: test is always true, first block is always executed

     - searchidx:
         - useless because of the above.

I'm not sure of what the logic should be, but there seems be be 
something broken here.


BTW, if you could re-run clang and post the result, it could be interesting.
