No way to check if a SerializedObject is null when it is initialized with null

IMGUI

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached project("nullRecreation.zip")
2. Select Window > recr
3. Press "Press Me" in the recr window

Expected results: Nothing happens
Actual results: ArgumentNullRefferenceException is thrown

Reproducible with: 2018.4.28f1, 2019.4.13f1, 2020.1.11f1, 2020.2.0b9, 2021.0.a3

Notes:
1. When a SerializedObject gets initialized with null in its constructor parameter, the object ignores null checks. You also can't check serializedObject.targetObject != null, because ArgumentNullRefferenceException is thrown, because you can't access those parameters of a null value.
2. If you point a serializedObject to null then it doesn't ignore null checks

  1. Resolution Note (fix version 2021.1):

    Fixed in Unity 2021.2.0a3
