bug in socket.h (and maybe many other kernel headerfiles)

Hello,

I am not on this list by post by told so in REPORTING-BUGS.

By installing kde-1.1.2 with gcc-2.95.1 I noticed a wrong declaration in
/usr/incluce/linux/socket.h:109

ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in return

The right ANSI way to do it is to return a literal "0".

By taking a quick glance on the other headerfiles there are many places that
uses NULL without explicit conversion.

Maybe (adhearing to ANSI???) NULL has to be defined "0" and not (void*) ...

Yours
Uwe Koloska
