But defining this way, when I use NULL in some part of the code will not have the same result if I use the conventional NULL because NULL is a null pointer.

C - ((void*)0)
C++ - (0)

Why did C defined 0 as void pointer ? Because it was used to empty pointer's address.
And by the way, there is not pointers in PAWN because no newbie will be able to learn to use it correct and there it won't be easy(for newbies) to learn.

Isn't NULL \0 ?

Re: Macro NULL in pawn. - Google63 - 01.12.2009

It's called NULL because it's decimal value is (0). NULL on end of string is written like \0 to escape 0 and then it is NULL.

This is totally legal:

new char = 0;

if you do printf("%c", char) it will display nothing. The better example is C/C++ int->char casting.

'\0' == 0 == 0x0 == 1-1 == false == NULL

Thanks JoeBullet, I understood perfectly.
And really, pointers are very boring! But it is not as complicated as many think...

Thanks !
