Hello, By convention we've never checked whether pointers passed in by the user are actually non-NULL. This is mainly due to the amount of work in adding these checks everywhere. Also there would be a somewhat arbitrary distinction between functions where we would check, and those where we wouldn't because they would add too much overhead. -- Brian Gough Network Theory Ltd, Publishing Free Software Manuals --- http://www.network-theory.co.uk/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
