TAU G2错误信息：Dereferencing of NULL pointer.

在进行TAU G2编程时经常会遇到下面的错误信息：

*************************** ERROR **************************

Dereferencing of NULL pointer.

Pointer assigned new data area at address .

 有必要详细说明一下。

 一般出现这个问题，都是在访问一个类或结构的变量时出现的，例如下面是程序的片段。

D_attach_detach_group_identity   D_attach_detach_group_identity_type;

Group_identity_downlink          Group_identity_downlink_type;

Group_identity_downlinks         Group_identity_downlinks_type;

CArray < Group_identity_downlink,  63 >  data;

D_attach_detach_group_identity_type.pdu_type = 10 ;

D_attach_detach_group_identity_type.group_identity_report = false ;

D_attach_detach_group_identity_type.group_identity_acknowlegement = true ;

D_attach_detach_group_identity_type.group_identity_attach_detach_mode = true ;

D_attach_detach_group_identity_type.O_Bit = true ;

D_attach_detach_group_identity_type.M_Bit = true ;

Group_identity_downlink_type.Is_gIADTI_Present = true ;

Group_identity_downlink_type.gIADTI  =  detach;

Group_identity_downlink_type.group_id_attach_or_detach.group_id_detachment_downlink = 3 ;

Group_identity_downlink_type.Is_gIAT_Present = true ;

Group_identity_downlink_type.gIAT  =  gssi;

Group_identity_downlink_type.group_id_address.group_short_subscriber_identity = 1 ;

D_attach_detach_group_identity_type.group_identity_downlinks.data[ 0 ] = Group_identity_downlink_type;

D_attach_detach_group_identity_type.group_identity_downlinks.NoOfRepeatedElements  =   1 ;

 
在这个程序中，访问D_attach_detach_group_identity_type、Group_identity_downlink_type和Group_identity_downlinks_type这三个变量的成员时都会报告错误。虽然可以忽略这个错误继续运行，但是如果这个错误很多，却是非常麻烦。为什么会出现这个错误呢?

 最主要的原因是在TAU G2中，类或结构体变量都是看作指针的，如果在WATCH窗口看这些变量，在访问变量前，它们都是null，而在赋值之后会显示变量的地址，这和C语言对指针变量的处理基本相同。所以在给这些变量第1次赋值的时候就会报告访问空指针。如果想避免这个问题，就应该在赋值前先使用new关键词分配空间。如：

CArray < Group_identity_downlink,  63 >  data;

D_attach_detach_group_identity_type  =   new  D_attach_detach_group_identity();

Group_identity_downlink_type  =   new  Group_identity_downlink();

D_attach_detach_group_identity_type.pdu_type = 10 ;

D_attach_detach_group_identity_type.group_identity_report = false ;

D_attach_detach_group_identity_type.group_identity_acknowlegement = true ;

D_attach_detach_group_identity_type.group_identity_attach_detach_mode = true ;

……

这样就可以避免出现此类问题了。
