  Pragma:    check_pointer
 
  Syntax:    #pragma check_pointer ([{ on | off }])
 
  Summary:   Instructs the compiler to turn off pointer checking if "off"
             is specified, or to turn on pointer checking if "on" is
             specified.
 
     In Microsoft C/C++ version 7.0, the check_pointer pragma works
     function by function, not statement by statement. To use this
     pragma, place a pair of check_pointer pragmas around any function
     definition that contains pointer usage that you want to check:
 
          #pragma check_pointer( on )
          void myfunc( void )
          {
              /* code that contains a pointer */
          }
          #pragma check_pointer( off )
