Wrong ternary in CSSStyleSelector::SelectorChecker::checkOneSelector

[Yoshiki Hayashi]

In CSSStyleSelector::SelectorChecker::checkOneSelector and checkSelector in WebCore/css/CSSStyleSelector.cpp, there are multiple occurrence of ternary that looks like:
RenderStyle* parentStyle = elementStyle ? elementParentStyle : e->parentNode()->renderStyle();
where it should look like:
RenderStyle* parentStyle = elementParentStyle ? elementParentStyle : e->parentNode()->renderStyle();

If I'm reading the code correctly, elementStyle and elementParentStyle are either both NULL or both non-NULL so there isn't any visible problem because of this code.  However, I think it's worth fixing so I'm going to attach a patch to fix it.

Thanks,

Actually, I think this was done on purpose. I would add an assertion that elementParentstyle is null iff elementstyle is null, but not change this code, as it is slightly more robust.

You couldn't find any case where this led to a null-dereference? If you could find a case then it would be best to add a test case to demonstrate the problem.

I am sorry. I should have set to r- based on my comment. Please don’t make this change.

parentStyle appears to be null-checked everywhere.

Thank you Dan and Darin for prompt review.  Since the code is intentional according to Dan, I'm just going to close this issue.

Thanks,
