Actually, on second thought, there is one notable downside
of this approach: 'jack' is guaranteed to be NULL here, so gcc
won't produce a warning if another driver makes the same mistake:
By default, we only get a warning for uses of uninitialized
variables, but not those that are known to be NULL. I think
some compiler warnings are able to warn about that too, but I
forgot the details.
