Hi. Coverity found a deadcode in lib/dns/rrl.c 1. bind-9.9.4/lib/dns/rrl.c:1162: cond_at_least: Condition "rrl_all_result != DNS_RRL_RESULT_OK", taking true branch. Now the value of "rrl_all_result" is at least 1. 2. bind-9.9.4/lib/dns/rrl.c:1166: assignment: Assigning: "rrl_result" = "rrl_all_result". 3. bind-9.9.4/lib/dns/rrl.c:1167: at_least: At condition "rrl_result == DNS_RRL_RESULT_OK", the value of "rrl_result" must be at least 1. 4. bind-9.9.4/lib/dns/rrl.c:1162: cond_cannot_single: Condition "rrl_all_result != DNS_RRL_RESULT_OK", taking true branch. Now the value of "rrl_all_result" cannot be equal to 0. 5. bind-9.9.4/lib/dns/rrl.c:1167: cannot_single: At condition "rrl_result == DNS_RRL_RESULT_OK", the value of "rrl_result" cannot be equal to 0. 6. bind-9.9.4/lib/dns/rrl.c:1167: dead_error_condition: The condition "rrl_result == DNS_RRL_RESULT_OK" cannot be true. 7. bind-9.9.4/lib/dns/rrl.c:1168: dead_error_line: Execution cannot reach this statement: "level = 4;". # 1166| rrl_result = rrl_all_result; # 1167| if (rrl_result == DNS_RRL_RESULT_OK) # 1168|-> level = DNS_RRL_LOG_DEBUG2; # 1169| else # 1170| level = DNS_RRL_LOG_DEBUG1; https://source.isc.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=bind9.git;a=blob;f=lib/dns/rrl.c;h=766d007514c01f85e5c43c0c40610783aeba1b41;hb=HEAD#l1163 There is a check on line 1163, assignment on line 1167, therefore the condition "if (rrl_result == DNS_RRL_RESULT_OK)" on line 1168 can never be TRUE. I'm not sure what was the intention here. Regards, -- Tomas Hozza Software Engineer - EMEA ENG Developer Experience PGP: 1D9F3C2D Red Hat Inc. http://cz.redhat.com
