HotSpot Style Guide needs update regarding nullptr vs NULL

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      The style guide currently says nullptr should be preferred to NULL, and that there are lots of historical uses of NULL. But existing uses of NULL have been eliminated (JDK-8299837 and related) and the style guide should be updated to reflect that. It should now require the use of nullptr and avoidance of NULL.
