Some functions are in the hot path of a sort. While it is more correct to also use assert() here for the passed pointers it is also a runtime cost that should never be needed when e.g. qsort() is used as it will always pass non-NULL pointers. So for these critical functions use POINTER_MAY_BE_NULL() which is compiled out and add a comment to them. Not all _compare() functions are changed, it was a bit of a judgement call because some (like ether_addr_compare) are not called with that much data. But happy to get advise here and tweak accordingly.
