I just happened to have copy of the ISO C standard on-screen!

    Section 6.3.2.3, paragraph 3:

      An integer constant expression with the value 0, or such an
      expression cast to type void *, is called a null pointer
      constant.55) If a null pointer constant is converted to a pointer
      type, the resulting pointer, called a null pointer, is guaranteed to
      compare unequal to a pointer to any object or function.
