Both of these should either check for null, be in a situation where p is obviously good (e.g., p is data() from a stack-allocated std::vector), or use references.  The assertion to my mind is like an admission "I'm not 100% sure, so let me crash if I'm wrong..." – if we're making that admission and not doing error handling, we're already a little shady.
