No, because there’s not as much reason to, really. nullptr
was added to remove the need of the NULL
macro, which in C is defined as something like (void*)0
. In C, void*
is implicitly convertible to any pointer type, so this would work. However, this is not true in C++, which removed this implicit convertibility (but not its inverse, from any pointer type to void*
), to increase type safety. However, C++ still wanted to have an easy way to make any pointer a null pointer, which is why nullptr_t
was introduced, which is implicitly convertible to any pointer type like void*
once was, BUT can only contain the null pointer value, nullptr
. In C++ you can represent a null character with '\0'
with no type ambiguity or unnecessary explicit conversions, so there’s no reason for a nullchar
value, which would also take up another valuable reserved identifier (standard committee really likes to preserve those.)
