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

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?

This isn't really a Boost/library design question, is it? Maybe you should try comp.lang.c++ or comp.lang.c++.moderated. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
