Bug 18854 deals with *potential* NULL pointer dereferences, while this one
mentions only *confirmed* NULL pointer dereferences, i.e:
1 #include <stdlib.h>
2 int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
3 volatile char *monkey = (char*)malloc(1234);
4 monkey[0] = '\0';
5 return 0;
6 }
Since malloc() on line 3 can *potentially* return NULL, I'd like a warning on
line 4.
Phython, would you say potential NULL dereferences are within the scope of this
bug, or should bug 18854 be re-opened for those cases?
