It says:
This is because NULL is not of the right type: it is defined as
integer 0 instead of a pointer with the value 0.

Except that is wrong from what the C99 standard says about the NULL macro:
The macros are
NULL
which expands to an implementation-defined null pointer constant

So no casting is needed as it is already a pointer type if we follow
the C99 standard (I think C90 says the same thing except I don't have
C90 in front of me).

Thanks,
Andrew Pinski
