gcc only has one definition of NULL.  After you read it, it was my
hope you would understand it.  If you don't, you might trye
comp.lang.c.

> We cannot use __null in C headers unconditionally,

Ok, I already know that.  You must misunderstand my point if you think
I said that.

> Use of __null conditioned on __cplusplus is questionable,

At this point, I will just say trust me, do it.  You can either ignore
me, or listen to me, your choice.

Yes.

No.
