So, if the pointer to the object (x) is not available, I can simply set it to 0 (or NULL)?
Yes. But please do take the opportunity and provide a valid pointer-to- the-object whenever possible, as this allows the user to track down,the source of the error.
In some cases, it's not feasible to provide the pointer to the object, for instance in helper functions that don't have it specified as argument. How many levels deep do you think it makes sense to extend the function calls by x?
