Initialize pointers
|
||||||
|
-------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All pointer variables MUST be initialized to NULL. History has
|
||||||
|
demonstrated that uninitialized pointer variables have lead to various
|
||||||
|
bugs and security issues.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Pointers MUST be initialized even if the assignment directly follows
|
||||||
|
the declaration, like pointer2 in the example below, because the
|
||||||
|
instructions sequence may change over time.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Good Example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
char *pointer1 = NULL;
|
||||||
|
char *pointer2 = NULL;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
pointer2 = some_func2();
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
pointer1 = some_func1();
