It's mostly a matter of personal taste, but I always found this style of 
condition (i.e. dereferencing a pointer returned by a function) much 
less readable. It's hard to parse what exactly is happening, what struct 
type are we dealing with, etc. YMMV but the separate variable makes it 
much clearer for me. And I'd expect the compilers to produce pretty much 
the same code too for those cases.
