New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:
There's some dead code in xmlparse_ParseFile() in Modules/pyexpat.c: the file pointer "fp" is always NULL, and as such the following code can never get entered into:
if (fp) {
bytes_read = fread(buf, sizeof(char), BUF_SIZE, fp);
if (bytes_read < 0) {
PyErr_SetFromErrno(PyExc_IOError);
return NULL;
}
}
There might be similar situations in other methods.
