What would you suggest using instead? The actual (void *) 0?

[CopperWing]

In C++, nullptr.

[cjs_2]

And in C?

[craigching]

In C, always use 0 and check for 0, it's the only safe way. For C++, it depends on the standard you're using.

[fanf2]

Except when calling a varargs function, when you need to cast to the correct pointer type

[guipsp]

But 0 isn't always null right?

[cjensen]

Literal zero in a pointer context is interpreted by the compiler to mean "the null pointer." The compiler then compiles the null pointer into the code.

[guipsp]

But then how do you get a pointer to zero (not null) in those systems?

[cjensen]

Prior to nullptr, generally I used literal 0. In those cases which require disambiguation, I used (void * ) 0.

[Fronzie]

In C++ it'd be nullptr.
