Subject: [RFC/AIX] xm-aix4.h - Can we remove NULL re-define?
Date: Sun, 08 Aug 2004 04:52:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040808045246.GE24160@gnat.com> (raw)

config/xm-aix4.h contains the following definition:

| /* Brain death inherited from PC's pervades.  */
| #undef NULL
| #define NULL 0

Is this still needed? Where does this come from?

It looks pretty scary that a compiler would actually defined NULL
as being non-zero. I have always heard that NULL is not garantied
to be zero, but I've seen so much code kind of confusing NULL and
zero that I thought nobody in their right mind would actually do
otherwise...

If still necessary, can this be replaced by something like this in
defs.h?

        #if (NULL != 0)
        #undef NULL
        #define NULL 0
        #endif
