Sat 13 Feb 2010 04:47:09 AM UTC, original submission:

The "clang" static analyzer reported a number of related potential null pointer dereferences in psql-reader.c. I'm attaching one of the reports.

According to John Darrington:

One thing is for sure: that code could use some more comments.

The analyser is correct. A null pointer dereference could potentially
occur if the PSQL library server started behaving oddly. However, this
feature has some quite comprehensive tests, and there's been no problem
so far.

I suggest that we raise a bug about this, so that I can fix it when I
get time.
