> Inspired by ZK-3006 , I develop a simple static analysis tool to find other Potential NPE like ZK-3006. This bug is found by this tool ,and I have carefully studied it.  But i am a newbie at here so i may be wrong, hope someone could confirm it and help me improve this tool.
> h3. Bug describtion:
> callee BinaryInputArchive#startVector will return null:
> {code:java}
> // code placeholder
> public Index startVector(String tag) throws IOException {
>     int len = readInt(tag);
>      if (len == -1) {
>      return null;
> }
> {code}
> and caller ReferenceCountedACLCache#deserialize  call it without null check
> {code:java}
> // code placeholder
> Index j = ia.startVector("acls");
> while (!j.done()) {
>   ACL acl = new ACL();
>   acl.deserialize(ia, "acl");
> }{code}
> but all the other 14 caller of BinaryInputArchive#startVector performs null checker like:
> {code:java}
> // code placeholder
> Index vidx1 = a_.startVector("acl");
>   if (vidx1!= null)
>      for (; !vidx1.done(); vidx1.incr()){
>      .....
>     }
>    }
> }
> {code}
> so i think we also need add null check in caller ReferenceCountedACLCache#deserialize  just like other 14 caller
