tcc(1) of the TenDRA project can set the null pointer representation to
0x55555555 via -f option of trans(1) (but only on x86):
$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
char *x = NULL;
unsigned long int y = (unsigned long int)x;
printf("%lx\n", y);
return 0;
}
$ tcc ./test.c -o test
$ ./test
0
$ tcc -Wt,f ./test.c -o test
$ ./test
55555555
See http://www.tendra.org/trans.1/ for more details.
