restore type of NULL to void * except when used in C++ programs
unfortunately this eliminates the ability of the compiler to diagnose some dangerous/incorrect usage, but POSIX requires (as an extension to the C language, i.e. CX shaded) that NULL have type void *. plain C allows it to be defined as any null pointer constant. the definition 0L is preserved for C++ rather than reverting to plain 0 to avoid dangerous behavior in non-conforming programs which use NULL as a variadic sentinel. (it's impossible to use (void *)0 for C++ since C++ lacks the proper implicit pointer conversions, and other popular alternatives like the GCC __null extension seem non-conforming to the standard's requirements.)
