Summary: Support for this option is needed for building Linux kernel. This is a very frequently requested feature by kernel developers. More details : https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/4/601 GCC option description for -fdelete-null-pointer-checks: This Assume that programs cannot safely dereference null pointers, and that no code or data element resides at address zero. -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks is the inverse of this implying that null pointer dereferencing is not undefined. This feature is implemented in LLVM IR in this CL as the function attribute "null-pointer-is-valid"="true" in IR (Under review at D47894). The CL updates several passes that assumed null pointer dereferencing is undefined to not optimize when the "null-pointer-is-valid"="true" attribute is present.
