And we'd reliably
segfault anyway if we dereference the pointer, even though we would not
get a clean error message. Not sure whether that really is worth the
hassle though.
I think you’re probably right in practice, but doesn’t the standard just say dereferencing a NULL pointer is undefined behavior? Just wondering for my own curiosity :)
Best,
