NULL is defined to beSmilie<datatype> *)0 - this means regardless of the underlying architecture
if p == 0 and p is a pointer it is guaranteed to be unassigned. Therefore
Code:
if (p)
if(p==NULL)

evaluate the same. NULL is fairly new. Old C code uses code like (char**)0 all the time. Example - this is in the strtoul definition on the manpage for systems that have C89 compilers.

sasl_errstring(3)						  SASL man pages						 sasl_errstring(3)

NAME
sasl_errstring - Translate a SASL return code to a human-readable form SYNOPSIS
#include <sasl/sasl.h> const char * sasl_errstring(int saslerr, const char * langlist, const char ** outlang); DESCRIPTION
sasl_usererr is called to convert a SASL return code (an integer) into a human readable string. At this time the only language available is american english written by programmers (aka gobbledygook). Note that a server should call sasl_usererr on a return code first if the string is going to be sent to the client. saslerr specifies the error number to convert. langlist is currently unused; Use NULL. outlang specifies the desired RFC 1766 language for output. NULL defaults to "en-us," currently the only supported language. It should be noted that this function is not the recommended means of extracting error code information from SASL, instead application should use sasl_errdetail(3), which contains this information (and more) RETURN VALUE
Returns the string. If langlist is NULL, US-ASCII is used. CONFORMING TO
RFC 4422 SEE ALSO
sasl(3), sasl_errdetail(3), sasl_errors(3) SASL
