NULL和0以及'\0'

        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.

NULL一般只用于指针，因为NULL可能会被定义为((void *)0), 而这对于非指针会产生些错误。

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

0可以被用在任何地方，它是任意类型的值为0的全局符号表示

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

'\0'只用在字符上下文中

• 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'

nul未在C或C++中定义，所以如果你要使用它就要自己定义下。
