comp.lang.c FAQ list · Question 5.12

Q: I use the preprocessor macro

#define Nullptr(type) (type *)0

to help me build null pointers of the correct type.

A: This trick, though popular and superficially attractive, does not buy much. It is not needed in assignments or comparisons; see question 5.2. (It does not even save keystrokes.) See also questions 9.1 and 10.2.
