I'm trying to interface with C code, where I have a function

However, the typical way that you pass "Null" values instead of
the last two arguments is "PETSC_NULL"
The problem is that PETSC_NULL is a macro defined to be 0. I
can't do the normal "int PETSC_NULL = 0" thing, because it
doesn't follow the type signature of PetscInitialize.
How to I pass 0 in place of the last two arguments? cast(const
char[])(0) doesn't work, and just an empty string ("\0") doesn't
work either.

How about cast(const(char[]))([0]) ?
