Null pointer dereferencing

bool j2k_write_rgn(....)

  OPJ_BYTE * l_current_data = 00;

  OPJ_UINT32 l_comp_room;

  // preconditions
  assert(p_j2k != 00);
  assert(p_manager != 00);
  assert(p_stream != 00);

  l_cp = &(p_j2k->m_cp);
  l_tcp = &l_cp->tcps[p_tile_no];
  l_tccp = &l_tcp->tccps[p_comp_no];

  l_nb_comp = l_image->numcomps;
  ....
}

PVS-Studio's diagnostic message: V522 Dereferencing of the null pointer 
'l_image' might take place. j2k.c 5205

The 'l_image' pointer is initialized to zero and is not changed anywhere after 
that. So, when calling the j2k_write_rgn() function, the null pointer will be 
dereferenced.

No archive found. Must be very old.
