Dear All,

The problem according to my logic seems to be result is used in a
branch control expression before it is initialised. However, I am
emailing this to have other opinions.

int essid_alloc(
    size_t length,
    char ** result
) {
    char * tmp;

    if(length==0 || !result)
        return EINVAL;

    tmp = (char *) calloc(length, 1);

    if(!tmp)
        return ENOMEM;

    *result = tmp;

    

    return 0;
}
