Comment (by boonebgorges):

 Hi @WisdmLabs - Thanks for the ticket.

 > When get_comment() (without parameter) is used, it returns nothing (not
 even any warning, error or notice)

 This is not entirely correct. When used without parameter, and the
 `$comment` global is set, it will return the `$comment` object. Functions
 like `get_comment_author_email_link()` - which you linked to above - are
 designed to be used inside of comment template loops, where this global
 will be set.

 In what context are you calling `get_comment()` without a parameter? Are
 you using `get_comment_author_email_link()` et al outside of a comment
 loop? If so, what would you *expect* to happen? It seems to me that the
 notice is a helpful reminder that you're doing something wrong.
