From the horse’s mouth
It is up to each implementation to provide its own definition, gcc if I recall correctly defines it to
__nullptrfor which it has special checks (verifies that it is not used in arithmetic contexts for example).So it is possible to define it as
nullptr, you will have to check your compiler/Standard Library documentation to see what has been done.
