[fpc-devel] Object checks

[C Western]

If I may, a couple of queries about code generated for object checking 
when range checks are on (-Cr):

An explicit check for nil is generated, which seems redundant, as any 
attempt to use the value will generate a SIGSEGV anyway on most 
platforms, or am I missing something?

If the fpc_check_object fails it calls RunError, which forces the 
application to terminate, whereas a SIGSEGV will raise an exception and 
give the user the option of continuing (at least in an LCL app). Is 
there any reason why fpc_check_object does not call HandleError?
