The proper way to code that is either
{
text* rand_dev;
if( PG_ARGISNULL(0) ||
PG_ARGISNULL(1) ||
PG_ARGISNULL(2) )
{
PG_RETURN_NULL();
}
rand_dev = PG_GETARG_TEXT_P(0);
...
or probably better, declare the function STRICT and drop the runtime
ARGISNULL tests entirely.

Declarations in the middle of a code block are C++, not C; if you
try to hold your breath until your C compiler accepts it, you will die.
