Possible nullptr

General JUCE discussion

Hi,

Looking at the code on github I found something which looks suspisious to me.

static void keyChosen (int result, ChangeKeyButton* button)
{
    if (result != 0 && button != nullptr && button->currentKeyEntryWindow != nullptr)
    {
        button->currentKeyEntryWindow->setVisible (false);
        button->setNewKey (button->currentKeyEntryWindow->lastPress, false);  
    }
    button->currentKeyEntryWindow = nullptr;
}

https://github.com/julianstorer/JUCE/blob/master/modules/juce_gui_extra/misc/juce_KeyMappingEditorComponent.cpp#L185

Here you have `if` which checkes button for nullptr, but then it is simply dereferencing it without check.

 

For me it should be:

  • put `button->currentKeyEntryWindow` inside `if` statement

or

  • remove `buttonn != nullptr` as it will fail in the next statement

Preferably the first one, but maybe I am missing something :)

 

And at the end, as this is my first post (who knows, maybe not last wink)

Great job on this library. I found JUCE few years ago and after that time, when I am now looking at it again I am still amazed of quality of code and care it is written with. I listened cppcast with Jules today, and as he said: every whitespace matters.

Thanks! That does look like a mistake, I'll take a look...
