[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Always use proper error code in alpm_initialize.

Sun Jun 5 17:23:31 UTC 2016


In out of memory conditions, an undefined error value is written
into *err, because myerr is never explicitly set in these cases.

I have also converted a calloc into a MALLOC call, because the memory
will be properly filled by the snprintf call right after it.
