Bug in get_the_content

Description

In get_the_content $post is not checked if it's null, after

<?php
$post = get_post();


and then on line:

<?php
if ( false !== strpos( $post->post_content, '<!--noteaser-->' ) && ( ! $multipage || $page == 1 ) )

as you see, $post->post_content is queried. Then if $post is null, the program falls.

A solution can be to check:

<?php
$post = get_post();
if ( ! $post ) { return ''; }
//else

and then continue.

Thank you for everything! :)

The empty post object check

$post = get_post( $post );
if ( empty( $post ) ) {
    return '';
}

is for example used in get_the_excerpt().

Surprisingly there's no explicit test for get_the_content().

It's attempting to write a test that's just a single line:

$this->assertEquals( '', get_the_content() );

as there's no global $post object available within that test method.

But I wanted to show the intention explicitly with:

unset( $GLOBALS['post'] );
$this->assertEquals( '', get_the_content() );

and this is the test in 39992.3.diff.

I did consider writing a much more verbose test, with a check if the global post is set, then store it in a temp, do the unset and then restore it afterwards (cleanup). But since there are currently no global post objects flying around in the test class, I skipped that path.
