The void
type
In ++C, there's an integrated void
type. The void
type is an empty structure, and has a special way of passing around: it doesn't get passed around, since there's only one possible value of void
. It can be converted from any value, and to any value. The conversion of a void
to a type results in a value of that type, filled with zeroes.
The null
constant
This constant is the only possible value of null
. It can be returned by void
functions. null
can be used to initialize a value to a zeroed-out version of itself. If a struct wants to implement a different default value, it should implement a conversion from void
to itself.
