I had a look and it might be true that cf will never be NULL in a code
path. Nevertheless its much harder to verify by looking at the code
since its a global variable. get_next_char() is called from all over the
place and I would have to look at all the code paths. As far as I know
static global variables are always initialized to zero so its safe to
check even if has not yet been explicitly initialized.
The statement if cf is not NULL all members will be initialized is much
simpler to verify since its just one place now and two places after this
series.
Cheers Heiko
