Correct way of defining NULL and NULL_POINTER?

Question

As far as I know, C defines NULL like this:

#define NULL ( (void *) 0)

Then, how should we define NULL_

Answer 1

It is only in pointer contexts that NULL and 0 are equivalent. NULL should not be used when another kind of 0 is required, even though it might work, because doing so sends the wrong stylistic message. (Furthermore, ANSI allows the definition of NULL to be ((void *)0), which will not work at all in non-pointer contexts.) In particular, do not use NULL when the ASCII null character (NUL) is desired. Provide your own definition

#define NUL '\0'

NULL should be used only as a pointer constant.
