Well, actually no, or maybe ;-)
- In Objective-C it's legal to send messages to nil. You might or might not
get a useful return value (IIRC the rule is that if the method returns an
object you get back nil, but if the method returns a C type the return is
undefined. Even worse, there are cases where on PPC the 0'ish value will be
returned, but not on Intel.)
- So if user were a nil string, you'd more likely bomb inside printf, having
passed it either NULL or a random value as the char *.
- But is user really nil? Isn't it the address of the NSFullUserName
function? In which case, you're back to bombing in the obc_msgSend because
the user value does not point to a valid string...
