NAME

       doc_decisions_null_pointer_checks_md - Null Pointer Checks

   Issue
       Currently all functions do proper argument checking which might degrade performance.

   Constraints
   Assumptions
   Considered Alternatives
       • Removing all null pointer checks and do assert on debug code

       • Removing some null pointer checks

       • adding functional high-level methods that avoid most null pointer checks

   Decision
       Delayed to 1.0.0

   Argument
       • should have consistent, defined behavior

   Implications
       • ABI, API

   Related decisions
   Notes
       • Benchmarks needed
