This is bogus. Of course rules can be NULL, in which case a new empty rule was used \
(as the comment said), and now it crashes, as soon as somebody tries to create a new \
rule from scratch. Reverting.

check makes much sense here. Yes if rules is still a pointer to tmp, it will point to \
invalid memory as soon as the method returns.

On the other hand if we set rules to NULL it will crash as soon as the calling \
function tries to use rules without checking (which I doubt it does).

The code has worked for years so I think that rules is never null when entering the \
method (the assingement is clearly wrong). So a proper fix in my opinion is to add an \
assert as first line of the method to check whether rules is NULL.</pre>  \
