Is there any problem in defining NULL to ((void *)0) ?

Only that this list is inhabited by countless C lawyers. 8)
The standard defines NULL quite explicitly. Deviating from the
standard is Bad. 0 -> NULL, but NULL !-> 0.

Yes, it would require fixing all the code that uses NULL in integer
context, and would hide the opposite problem of misuse of NULL in
non-integer contexts, e.g.,
void foo(bar) void *bar; { ... }
...
foo(NULL); /* no prototype in scope */
`lint -p' should warn that the arg is inconsistent, but can't do so if
NULL is ((void *)0).

Could you please explain that more clearly? I see a perfectly good implied
prototype in scope, and the fact of the matter is that I should not be forced
to typecast NULL into a particular pointer type, ever. Null is well defined
as a "pointer of some type, with a value of 0" To me, #define NULL (void *)0
is the ultimate protection against the misuse of NULL.

1. There is no prototype in scope - the function is purposely declared old-
style so that it does not provide a prototype.
2. The comment is supposed to make this clearer.

No, NULL is macro which expands to an implementation-defined null pointer
constant. A null pointer constant is either an integral constant expression
with value 0, or such an expression cast to `void *'. Portable programs
must not assume a particular implementation. Even if NULL is a pointer
(necessarily of type `void *'), it must be cast to the correct type in
function calls. The cast is best done by putting a prototype in scope.
Example:
void foo();
...
foo((void *)0); /* no prototype in scope */
...
void foo(bar) int *bar; { ... }
`lint -p' should warn that the arg is inconsistent, but the FreeBSD version
doesn't. It warns for the equivalent `foo((char *)0)'.

<C LAWYER>((void*)0) is a correct definition of NULL. The other
correct definition is 0.</C LAWYER>
I think the tree should be made compile and lint cleanly with both
definitions; I might look into it some day, but don't volunteer my
time right now. (I have other FreeBSD I've promised to do with a
much higher priority.)
