Subject: kbuild: uapi: provide a C++ compatible dummy definition of NULL
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b187c1a1a0513593663b1adee0340d41d833d16d;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

kbuild: uapi: provide a C++ compatible dummy definition of NULL

NULL works differently in C++ compared to C.

To allow testing the UAPI headers against C++ compilers, provide
a variant of NULL which works with those.
