------- Comment #9 from bangerth at gmail dot com 2010-04-19 22:18 ------- Dereferencing the null pointer invokes undefined behavior, independent on whether the type of the dereferenced pointer is an empty class or not. Typically, dereferencing NULL results in a trap. GCC simply preserves this behavior here.
