[protobuf] usage of 'null' as a variable name in protobuf-2.5.0
Version 2.5.0 has the following line in a couple of places in repeated_field.h: MessageLite* null = NULL; My gnu-based compiler doesn't like this as it thinks 'null' is a constant. If I rename 'null' as 'narl' then it's OK. Is 'null' a valid variable name? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Protocol Buffers group.

You are probably using some library which defines null as a macro. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Protocol Buffers group.

Still, it might not be a good idea to use such a name. I could imagine translating this proto buffer into other languages might create trouble. -h -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Protocol Buffers group.
