Hi all,
To quote from the ISO C99 standard:
7.17#3:
The macros are
NULL
which expands to an implementation-defined null pointer constant
Currently, <sys/null.h> defines NULL to be 0.
Now my questions are:
* What happens on I32LP64 systems?
fprintf(stderr, "%#p %#p\n", NULL, NULL, 1, 2, 3, 4);
I would expect the answer to not be "0x0 0x0".
* Why don't we always #define NULL ((void *) 0) ?
(We don't have to be pre-ANSI compatible anyway.)
Roland
