So you mean internal misbehavior?

Yes, gcc has the nonnull old-style attribute, and I think that the C23
versions of gcc and clang will have something like `[[gnu::nonnull]]`.

Having this as attribute of the function and not of the pointer is a
bit unfortunate. For non-void pointers you could also use the `[static
1]` array parameter notation instead of a pointer.
