[Bug c/13038] New: no diagnostic for null pointer misuse

["fjh at cs dot mu dot oz dot au" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

gcc versions 2.95, 3.2, and 3.3.1 all fail to issue a diagnostic for
the following source file, even with "-ansi -pedantic -Wall":

	char *s = (int) (void *) 0;

But this is a straight-forward type error, and a diagnostic is required.

The bug seems to be that gcc is treating the RHS of the assignment as a
null pointer constant, which is wrong.
