Repeated Field - Add element method.

[Ashish Kumar]

When we are constructing an object with repeated field member, we generally call
auto memberObj = parentObject->add_member() -- C++

My question is that whether we should always add a defensive check for NULL-Pointer being returned from the Add function. 
I assume it will happen only in the out of memory condition.

Protobuf does not throw an out of memory exception.

So is there a way to check if Add succeded or Failed.

There shouldn't be a case where ->add_member() returns a null pointer. It should be safe to not make the null check.
