A more general follow-up

Is there any tool that can instrument C-code to introduce null-pointer checks, 
say for a subset, like all pointer accesses within the relatively complex 
structure datatype used in the example below?

Surprisingly I received several personal replies - AFAICT no mailing list on CC?
Public thanks here to those of you who chose to answer off-list.  (And if it 
was not deliberate, feel free to post your email and my response)
 
Best Regards
