Additional notes (September, 2026)
The common implementation practice to #define NULL as, say, __null to catch attempts to use NULL as an integer value should be supported, but NULL is currently specified to yield an integer literal. In view of this complication, this issue should be reconsidered by CWG.
Notes from the November, 2016 meeting:
This issue will be handled editorially. It is being placed in "review" status until that point.
The term “literal” is used without definition except the implicit connection with the syntactic nonterminal literal. The relationships of English terms to syntactic nonterminals (such as “integer literal” and integer-literal) should be examined throughout 5.13 [lex.literal] and its subsections.
