bsearch of empty array

[Chris Dollin]

Doug Gwyn says (replying to my bsearch question):

   In general, when the C standard requires an argument to a library function
   to be a pointer to an array of XXX, it means it.  Null pointers are allowed
   only where specified.

Thanks, Doug. I don't like it (in the case I described), but I can live with
it. I've now read 4.1.6 and found the bit that outlaws $NULL$.

Now, which implementations have better ``quality'' - those that are happy with
a null pointer and no elements (where the meaning is ``obvious''), or those
that object (and hence force your code to be more portable) .... :-)
