I think "(bool *) NULL" would work. What your compiler is complaining
about is trying to dereference a "void *" expression.
In practice, the people we'd need to reach with a comment would be ones
who had working code before --- and working code, in this context, would
most likely be code that was passing a pointer variable that contained
null. But as I said, I don't think it really requires any comment.
