Produce warning for performing pointer arithmetic on a null pointer.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Summary:
Test and produce warning for subtracting a pointer from null or subtracting
null from a pointer.  Reuse existing warning that this is undefined
behaviour.  Also add unit test for both warnings.

Reformat to satisfy clang-format.

Respond to review comments:  add additional test.

Respond to review comments:  Do not issue warning for nullptr - nullptr
in C++.

Fix indenting to satisfy clang-format.

Respond to review comments:  Add C++ tests.
