+Compares a pointers against null and displays predefined message with
+condition and value of the input parameter on failure.
+@code{ck_assert_ptr_null} checks that pointer is equal to NULL and
+@code{ck_assert_ptr_nonnull} checks that pointer is not equal to NULL.
+@code{ck_assert_ptr_nonnull} is highly recommended to use in situations
+when a function call can return NULL as error indication (like functions
+that use malloc, calloc, strdup, mmap, etc).
