[boost] How should we deal with access to zero pointers?

21 Oct 2005

      When writing code that *could* access a zero pointer, should one do the
following:

1. Nothing
2. assert
3. Exception. In that case which one?

My guess would be 1 since an access violation exception will be thrown any
way (on VC++ at least), but now I'm not sure?
