You can't make my value pointless, you never defined it!

int* pointless = 0;
pointless = 0x0000; // address, not value
int rabbit = *pointless;
That doesn't mean anything..

It means you're 0. In fact, you're 0x0000. That's what people who think they're cool say instead of 0.

He's a null address!
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

First, you can't replace the word "is" with "=", that just doesn't make sense. You also can't use "==". "is" generally indicates a property, not equality.

In any case, about the whole topic, who cares? Some guy is being locked up for committing a crime. Big deal!
Oh yeah?  Well I'm going to say @ you that 4 right now using = is = to using is in Internet slang.     lol

A) Something that is pointless doesn't point anywhere, unlike your pointer, which points to memory address zero.

B) You set pointless twice. It's double-pointed to zero.

C) Rabbit is still undefined, unless there's memory at address zero. A couple of years ago, I worked on an embedded system with a tiny heap and a bugged malloc()/free() system that could return zero without intending to indicate failure.
