The override-ed `TraverseDecl` method in the base class `RecursiveASTVisitor` also has a null-check. So I feel like this null-check is needed here.


================
Comment at: clang/lib/Analysis/UnsafeBufferUsage.cpp:59
+    // To skip callables:
+    if (llvm::isa<FunctionDecl, BlockDecl, ObjCMethodDecl>(Node))
+      return true;
