Wow, what an excellent example! :-) Manuel already did a mistake when 
trying to rewrite the expression, of course
  if (MyPtr)
would translate to
  if (MyPtr != NULL)
and NOT to
  if (MyPtr == NULL)

QED: that's nonsense and leads to unncessary errors. ;-) Every C 
developer knows what "if (ptr)" does.

Hm, well, actually I do prefer "if (ptr == NULL)" over "if (!ptr)". Not 
sure why.
