    Description

      Pointer is checked against null but then dereferenced anyway

      Defect 105003 (STATIC_C)
      Checker FORWARD_NULL (subcategory none)
      File: /src/mongocxx/test/spec/change_stream.cpp
      Function <unnamed>::____C_A_T_C_H____T_E_S_T____2()
      /src/mongocxx/test/spec/change_stream.cpp, line: 165
      Comparing "change_stream_tests_path" to null implies that "change_stream_tests_path" might be null.

              if (!change_stream_tests_path) {

      /src/mongocxx/test/spec/change_stream.cpp, line: 169
      Passing null pointer "change_stream_tests_path" to "basic_string", which dereferences it.

              std::string path = change_stream_tests_path;
