No. Not in <cstddef>. Since you are using that header file, I assume
you are using C++. In C++, NULL is 0, not (void *)0 as it is in C.

Since marcos cannot be "overloaded" or "overridden", the <cstddef>
marcos would take precedence over conflicting <windows.h> marcos as
long as <cstddef> is included first. However, this should not make a
different since, again assuming you are using C++, both marcos should
be defined to the same value.
