Examples of errors detected by the V704 diagnostic

V704. The expression is always false on newer compilers. Avoid using 'this == 0' comparison.


Miranda NG

V704 '!this ||!dat' expression should be avoided: 'this' pointer can never be NULL on newer compilers. GG image.cpp 1157


BOOL GGPROTO::img_sendonrequest(gg_event* e)
{
  GGIMAGEDLGDATA *dat =
    gg_img_find(this,
                e->event.image_request.sender,
                e->event.image_request.crc32);
  if (!this || !dat || !isonline())
    return FALSE;
  ....
}
