Re: [PATCH] Use NULL instead of integer 0 in security/selinux/Re: [PATCH] Use NULL instead of integer 0 in security/selinux/Posted Jul 22, 2004 19:35 UTC (Thu) by h.j.thomassen (guest, #15232)Parent article: Re: [PATCH] Use NULL instead of integer 0 in security/selinux/ I support Linus' view that NULL should be written if a pointer is meant to be zero. But his statement "NULL is _not_ an integer. Never has been,..." is historically incorrect. Read K&R, 2nd Ed, page 102 where it clearly says the opposite. int i = NULL; is wrong, and always has been. Since the second statement is syntactically correct, no compiler will complain. Since compilers will not force you to write "char *p = NULL;" it deserves a place in the kernel coding standards.
