NULL can expand to just a 0 or a (0) or a 0L or a (0L)

I don't believe that's the problem; zero is a special value (in terms of this warning anyway), which you can compare against *any* pointer.



You're probably right. I had expected warnings about missing prototypes for the case when a header is not included.
It turns out that the warning flag for missing prototypes is disabled by default in Objective-C based project templates,
and don't appear to do anything in objective C files, even if enabled.
i.e. if you do

  struct foo;

  int bar(void)
  {
    if ((char *)0x12345678 == 0)
      return 0;
    if ((struct foo *)0x12345678 != 0)
      return 0;
    if ((char *)0x12345678 == 1)
      return 0;
    if ((struct foo *)0x12345678 != 1)
      return 0;
    return 1;
  }

then you'll get

  tst.c: In function ‘bar’:
  tst.c:9: warning: comparison between pointer and integer
  tst.c:11: warning: comparison between pointer and integer

Kind regards,

Alastair.
