Message-ID: <6911@unc.UUCP> Date: Tue, 13-Mar-84 18:32:08 EST Article-I.D.: unc.6911 Posted: Tue Mar 13 18:32:08 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 14-Mar-84 20:37:28 EST References: <2393@brl-vgr.ARPA> Organization: CS Dept., U. of N. Carolina at Chapel Hill Lines: 14 This reminds me -- another small change that the ANSI Standard committee might want to make in C is to make NULL be a real synatctic object, so that we don't have to do dumb-looking (and usually forgotten) things like: foo( (char *)NULL ); After all, the use of NULL in software has become part of the de facto C standard. -- Tim Maroney, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill mcnc!unc!tim (USENET), tim.unc@csnet-relay (ARPA) All opinions expressed herein are completely my own, so don't go assuming that anyone else at UNC feels the same way.
