Hi Michael,
This is typically the kind of patches that breaks everything.
The code you find useless, is often use in lazy allocation or error handling. I doubt the current wine code is so bad designed even if there is some cases where the test is useless. For example in memallocator.c, this is wrong because you can release the allocator even before allocating the memory with the SetProperties method. Looking at your other patches, there is some changes that seems suspect to me (in winmm and directx).
I think, this kind of cleanup should be done very carefully by understanding what the code really does. Morever, sending large patches that involves several dll makes it appears as obvious cleanups which they are not.
Bye, Christian
PS: Alexandre, please, could you remove all theses patches ?
