[omniORB] [omnithread] Why is NULL defined as (void*)0?

[Keeley, Michael]

In the omnithread.h header, NULL is defined to be (void*)0.

Shouldn't this be just 0?
Otherwise code such as

#define NULL (void*) 0

char* foo() {
  return NULL;
}

will not compile - void* cannot be cast to char*.

Mike.
