Enabling Checks for this warning class are disabled by default, and require the unnormalized C ASTs for the project. To enable them, add the following WARNING_FILTER rule and RETAIN_UNNORMALIZED_C_AST specification to the project configuration file.
RETAIN_UNNORMALIZED_C_AST = Yes
WARNING_FILTER += allow class="NULL Used as Integer"
Note that retaining the unnormalized ASTs will increase the disk space used to store the project representation, and may make the analysis take longer.

Example

#include <cstddef>

void f1 ( int a );
void f2 ( int * a);
void f3 ( void ){
    f1 ( NULL );              /* 'NULL Used as Integer' warning issued here */
    f2 ( NULL );
    int i;
    i = NULL;                 /* 'NULL Used as Integer' warning issued here */
    char *p = NULL;
}
