The Turbo C++ helpme!.doc file says:
Q. How can I find out where my "null pointer assignment" is occurring?
A. Set a watch on the following expressions:
*(char *)0,4m
(char *)4
Step through the program. When the values change, the just-executed line
is the one that is causing the problem.
Q. My program comes up with the message 'Null pointer assignment'
after it terminates. What does this mean?
A. Before a small-data model Turbo C++ program returns to DOS, it will
check to see if the beginning of its data segment has been corrupted.
This message is to warn you that you have used uninitialized pointers
or that your program has corrupted memory in some other way.
