Casting 0x8 to a pointer type so the compiler will accept my implementation of init on a type extending NSObject for which no zero-argument init can reasonably be defined, my designated initializer has nonnull parameters of difficult to initialize types, and I have to put *something* there because Xcode doesn’t understand that the assertion failure I wrote will stop the program anyway.
