《C专家编程》里面提到了"The One 'l' nul and the Two 'l' null",网上查了一下,得到了一个更详细的区分。

NULL is a macro defined in several standard headers, 0 is an integer constant, '\0' is a character constant, and nul is the name of the character constant. All of these are not interchangeable:

NULL is to be used for pointers only since it may be defined as ((void *)0), this would cause problems with anything but pointers.

0 can be used anywhere, it is the generic symbol for each type's zero value and the compiler will sort things out.

'\0' should be used only in a character context.

nul is not defined in C or C++, it shouldn't be used unless you define it yourself in a suitable manner, like:

#define nul '\0'

翻译一下就是:

NULL被大量定义在标准头文件中,0是一个整型常量,'\0'是一个字符常量,而NUL是一个字符常量的名字。这几个术语都不可互换。

1、NULL用于表示什么也不指向,也就是空指针((void *)0)

2、0可以被用于任何地方,它是表示各种类型零值的符号并且编译器会挑出它

3、'\0'应该只被用于结束字符串

4、NUL没有被定义于C和C++,它不应该被使用除非你自己定义它,像:#define nul '\0'
