Visitors get passed a pointer to the visited object. The generated
visitors try to cope with this pointer being null in some places, for
instance like this:
visit_start_optional(m, obj ? &(*obj)->has_name : NULL, "name", &err);
visit_start_optional() passes its second argument to Visitor method
start_optional. Three out of three methods dereference it
unconditionally.
I fail to see how this pointer could legitimately be null.
All this useless null checking is highly redundant, which Coverity
duly reports. About 200 times.
Remove the useless null checks.
