251	initializing null pointer variable	Stephen Siegel	zirkel	"In libmpi.c, MPI_Request is defined as follows:

{{{
typedef  struct MPIX_Comm_Record {
  int id;
} MPIX_Comm_Record;

typedef MPIX_Comm_Record *MPI_Request;
}}}

After that I want do say this, but it does not parse:

{{{
MPI_Request MPI_REQUEST_NULL = (MPI_Request)NULL;
}}}

but this does:

{{{
MPI_Request MPI_REQUEST_NULL = (MPIX_Comm_Record*)NULL;
}}}"	defect	closed	major	1.1	front	1.1	fixed	grammar void pointer struct
