I think "(bool *) NULL" would work. What your compiler is complaining about is trying to dereference a "void *" expression. In practice, the people we'd need to reach with a comment would be ones who had working code before --- and working code, in this context, would most likely be code that was passing a pointer variable that contained null. But as I said, I don't think it really requires any comment. regards, tom lane
