Problem

Currently all functions do proper argument checking which might degrade performance.

Constraints

Assumptions

Considered Alternatives

  • Removing all null pointer checks and do assert on debug code
  • Removing some null pointer checks
  • adding functional high-level methods that avoid most null pointer checks

Decision

Delayed to 1.0.0

Rationale

  • should have consistent, defined behavior

Implications

  • ABI, API

Notes

  • Benchmarks needed
