This is very confusing, if we don't check the pointer we shouldn't
have a macro that looks like we do. The proper way is to add exception
handlers in functions where an app explicitly relies on the pointer
check, and not add checks otherwise; using the IsBad*Ptr functions is
always wrong since they are not thread-safe.
