Not really. And if you're at the point where you're asking whether or
not a pointer is "bad" in production code, you've already failed :)
I agree.
What problem are you actually trying to solve, perhaps there is a
better way.
It's actually not my problem, so I can't say for sure. I was just
asked by someone who is porting some Windows code to the Mac what an
equivalent function was and I didn't know. They wanted an answer, so I
asked here for them.
Even on Windows, the use of that function is discouraged (as indicated
by the documentation that you linked to):
"IsBadXxxPtr should really be called CrashProgramRandomly
Interesting. I didn't actually read it, but was just told it was the
function they were using.
I will forward your answer on and perhaps try to get some more
information on what they are trying to do and why.
