The benefit would be that I could use the state of the global to determine if this was the first time it had been initialized and run some setup code. The natural state of certain globals is empty, so I couldn't simply test for that. If I were coding from scratch I would just work around this, but I am porting business logic from another dev environment. They use this extensively.

On the other hand, just declaring a global automatically initializes it to empty, so maybe that's enough for the original poster. I don't see too much difference between empty and NULL; there's a slight difference but probably not one that would matter too much in most cases.
