In this video Stephan describes how rvalue references exposed a few loopholes in the C++ type system around the NULL macro (or more specifically around the value of the NULL macro, the integer constant 0, and how this value is treated &ldquo;differently&rdquo; by the compiler to other integer constants.) The issue had already been identified by the C++ Language Committee and a solution had been added to the C++0x language specification (the aforementioned &ldquo;nullptr&rdquo;). And to add even more good news, customers can see and use this feature (and all our other C++0x Features) in the Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 which was <\/font><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/somasegar\/archive\/2009\/10\/19\/announcing-visual-studio-2010-and-net-fx-4-beta-2.aspx\"><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"3\">released this week<\/font><\/a><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"3\">. &nbsp;We hope you enjoy <\/font><a href=\"https:\/\/channel9.msdn.com\/shows\/Going+Deep\/Stephan-T-Lavavej-Everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-nullptr\/\"><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"3\">Stephan&rsquo;s latest theatrical release.<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"3\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"3\">Thanks<\/font><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"3\">Damien<\/font><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephan T.
