为什么这个函数没有被编译器捕获,它做了什么?

我发现在一些遗留代码中,我正在处理这个函数(C++)

Vec3d Minimum()
{
    if(this->valid)
    {
        return minBB;
    }
    else
    {
        return NULL;
    }
}

好吧,你不能为用户定义的对象返回0。。。还是有一些我不知道的自动归零?这只是出于好奇:p

class Vec3d
{
public:
    double x,y,z;

    /// \brief Default constructor initializes x and y to 0
    Vec3d();

    /** \brief Constructor initializies vector to input parameters x and y and z
     *
     *  \param x Double value that initializes x value of vector
     *  \param y Double value that initializes y value of vector
     *  \param z Double value that initializes z value of vector
     */
    Vec3d(double x, double y, double z);

    /** \brief Copy constructor
     *
     *  \param v Pointer to another vec3i with which to initialize current vec3i
     */
    Vec3d(Vec3d* v);

    /**\brief Sets a vector (already instantiated) to the input parameters (x,y,z)
     *
     *  \param x Double value that initializes x value of vector
     *  \param y Double value that initializes y value of vector
     *  \param z Double value that initializes z value of vector
     *
     *  This method is just so you can change the value of an already instantiated vector
     */
    void set(double xi, double yi, double zi);

    const Vec3d operator -(const Vec3d &other) const;
    const Vec3d operator +(const Vec3d &other) const;
    const Vec3d operator *(const double num) const;
    const double operator *(const Vec3d &other) const;
    const Vec3d operator /(const double num) const;
    double magnitude();
