#define NULL /*implementation-defined*/
The macro NULL
is an implementation-defined null pointer constant, which may be
A null pointer constant may be converted to any pointer type; such conversion results in the null pointer value of that type.
[edit] NotesPOSIX requires NULL
to be defined as an integer constant expression with the value â0â cast to void*.
// C++ compatible: #define NULL 0 // C++ incompatible: #define NULL (10*2 - 20) #define NULL ((void*)0) // since C23 (compatible with C++11 and later) #define NULL nullptr[edit] Example
#include <inttypes.h> #include <stdint.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(void) { // any kind of pointer can be set to NULL int* p = NULL; struct S *s = NULL; void(*f)(int, double) = NULL; printf("%p %p %p\n", (void*)p, (void*)s, (void*)(long)f); // many pointer-returning functions use null pointers to indicate error char *ptr = malloc(0xFULL); if (ptr == NULL) printf("Out of memory"); else printf("ptr = %#" PRIxPTR"\n", (uintptr_t)ptr); free(ptr); }
Possible output:
(nil) (nil) (nil) ptr = 0xc001cafe[edit] See also
