No, that's not the same thing.

if (foo) means "foo" gets converted to bool and is the same operation as 
"if (foo != 0)". Also NULL == 0 by definition, though C++0x is introducing 
a concept of nullptr which is 0, but not an integer or boolean zero.

The point is:

	void * foo = 0;
isn't necessarily the same as:

	void * foo;
	memset(&foo, 0, sizeof foo);
