I didn't think of this earlier, but strictly speaking, I think "(char*)nullptr+0" isn't undefined in C++?  But probably worth emitting the warning anyway; anyone writing out arithmetic on null is probably doing something suspicious, even if it isn't technically undefined.



================
Comment at: include/clang/Basic/DiagnosticSemaKinds.td:6032
+def ext_gnu_null_ptr_arith : Extension<
+  "inttoptr casting using arithmetic on a null pointer is a GNU extension">,
+  InGroup<PointerArith>;
----------------
The keyword "inttoptr" is part of LLVM, not something we expect users to understand.


================
Comment at: lib/Sema/SemaExpr.cpp:8808
+        Context.getTypeSize(pointerType) == 
+            Context.getTypeSize(IExp->getType()))
+      IsGNUIdiom = true;
----------------
Please make sure you use exactly the same check in Sema and CodeGen (probably easiest to stick a helper into lib/AST/).
