Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|--- |DUPLICATE Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED --- Comment #1 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> --- I've looked into this and I don't think it can be done without an ABI break. Objects constructed in old code compiled by an older GCC would still have a null pointer, so code compiled by a new GCC can't assume that the pointer is never null. We have another PR on the same subject anyway. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 56551 ***
