two things: the linker doesn't only produce binaries, it has options
for producing other output in which a null object file may be
applicable; furthermore, it takes more than a single file, so you can
see how a #ifdef-ed C file compiles to nothing (even if it's bad
practice) but then is linked with other parts of the program just
fine.
so, yes. nil input should result in nil output, at least in this case.
would you like a warning? warnings are fun!
