Why? On which platform do you expect a char* to have a different size
and/or representation than a void*? If you can't point to a specific
crash caused by passing NULL instead of (char*)NULL, then you've messed
up the diffs for no good reason.

P.S.: I'm well aware that, according to a strict interpretation of the C
standard, (void*)0 and (char*)0 are not interchangeable. But we do not
support a single platform where the ABI does not treat them identically.
Which is why I throw a fit every time I see someone casting (void*) to
something else (in C, not C++), or worse, the other way around -- other
than to add or remove const.
