    When you program embedded you’ll also dereference NULL pointers at some point.

    More...

    Some platforms can have something interesting at memory address 0x0 (it’s often NULL in C).

      In amd64/x86 kernel space you can dereference null as well. My hobby kernel keeps critical kernel structures there XD.
