The keyword nullptr denotes a predefined null pointer constant. It is a non-lvalue of type nullptr_t. nullptr can be converted to a pointer types or bool, where the result is the null pointer value of that type or false respectively.
Demonstrates that a copy of nullptr can also be used as a null pointer constant.
#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void g(int*)
{
puts("Function g called");
}
#define DETECT_NULL_POINTER_CONSTANT(e) \
_Generic(e, \
void* : puts("void*"), \
nullptr_t : puts("nullptr_t"), \
default : puts("integer") \
)
int main()
{
g(nullptr); // OK
g(NULL); // OK
g(0); // OK
auto cloned_nullptr = nullptr;
g(cloned_nullptr); // OK
[[maybe_unused]] auto cloned_NULL = NULL;
// g(cloned_NULL); // implementation-defined: maybe OK
[[maybe_unused]] auto cloned_zero = 0;
// g(cloned_zero); // Error
DETECT_NULL_POINTER_CONSTANT(((void*)0));
DETECT_NULL_POINTER_CONSTANT(0);
DETECT_NULL_POINTER_CONSTANT(nullptr);
DETECT_NULL_POINTER_CONSTANT(NULL); // implementation-defined
}
Possible output:
Function g called Function g called Function g called Function g called void* integer nullptr_t void*[edit] References
