not really. POSIX says malloc(0) is implementation defined (so it may return a unique address, or it may return NULL). no userspace code assuming malloc(0) will return non-NULL is correct.

Which is your implementation-defined ;-) But I have to agree with this one. So my vote is for returning NULL.
