The copies of the C spec that I have do not differentiate between =
freestanding and hosted environments for the validity of dereferencing a =
pointer value of 0.  Doing so is undefined in all cases and any =
standards-compliant compiler is quite at liberty to eat your dog in such =
situations - it is explicitly not guaranteed to read the memory at =
linear address 0 (this is undefined for at least two reasons that I can =
think of from the C spec, and probably more). =20
