Re: [C++0x] nullptr

In gcc we

OTOH the committee thought about and ultimately rejected
#define NULL nullptr

Can/should we go ahead and do this since we sort of did it already?

No. NULL is defined to be an integer, which __null is and nullptr is not; making that change would break code. Such code probably ought to be broken, but it still isn't something I want to do just in G++.

If we don't want to do this would it be a good idea to have a flag
-fNULL=nullptr o somesuch?

NULL is defined by headers, not in the compiler. Try -DNULL=nullptr if that's what you want?
