I thought it was safe to message nil-objects, the return value would be 0 or the equivalent for the respective expression return type. Is this not the case for double return values?

See http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ObjectiveC/Articles/ocObjectsClasses.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30001163-CH11-SW7 , in particular the last bullet in that list.


From the docs:

"If the method returns any pointer type, any integer scalar of size less than or equal to sizeof(void*), a float, a double, a long double, or a long long, then a message sent to nilreturns 0."

Which is exactly what I was thinking, hence the confusion about the analyzer warning. Does this mean it's an analyzer bug? Is this known?

Markus
