Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Avoid segfault in grob.cc with gcc 6 (see issue #4814)
When optimizing, GCC 6 now assumes the "this" pointer can never be null,
which is guaranteed by the language rules.
Programs which assume it is OK to invoke a member function through a null pointer
(possibly relying on checks like this != NULL) may crash or otherwise fail at run time
if null pointer checks are optimized away.
