Hi:
Not re-defining NULL is good.
The specific fix for alh or other code that uses var-arg, however,
is to ignore the old man pages that might talk about NULL,
and always cast 0 to the specific type:
some_func("widgetWidth", (int) 0,
"callback_arg", (void *) 0,
"num_entries", (long) 0, ...)
For all these, NULL might have worked on 32 bit,
but it won't now.
Yep, but as you pointed out this represents a significant amount of work (and therefore is unlikely to ever happen).
