I just came up with an interesting situation. Earlier, I initialized the class so
that Relation (*rel)[x]=NULL. In a later procedure, I wrote:   
   
while (!strcmp(rel[i]->inq_name(),rel_name))

I realized that I would be calling the function from a NULL pointer sometimes,
and it seemed that would cause it to crash. Rather than try it, I decided to
ask here:

a) It won't work, right?

b) Should it? (returns (type)0, or some such...)

Thanks.
