> Does it realistically ever not crash though? It depends on the system, optimization level, what `NULL` actually is, and so on. For example, when the optimizer sees `doc->file_name` without any check that it's not `NULL` guarding it, it is free to re-write/optimize that code any way it sees fit, as long as the result is the same. It's possible that what it produces will do something different than segfault if `doc` ends up actually being `NULL`.
As to how likely/realistic it is, I cannot say, but it's never good to rely on undefined behaviour. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/1537#issuecomment-315543599
