Comment (by catalyst):

 Suggestions:

 * Instead of using a null pointer, use the address of a static object of
 the appropriate type.  We presumably don't care too much about the extra
 memory footprint if we're building test code.
 * Use an equality operator instead of pointer subtraction.  The equality
 operators (with both operands being pointers) have the same constraints
 about type compatibility as subtraction, but don't have the requirement
 that both pointers point to members of the same array.
