commit be9033582599e50521feb879d7476756c2c8c017

    gdb: Remove casts of NULL during assignment.
    
    In the following code:
    
        struct symbol *wsym = (struct symbol *) NULL;
    
    the cast of NULL is redundant, it adds noise, and is just one more thing
    to change if the type of wsym ever changes.  There are a relatively
    small number of places in gdb where the above code pattern is used.
    Usually the cast is removed like this:
    
        struct symbol *wsym = NULL;
    
    This commit updates all the places within the gdb/ directory where we
    cast NULL during assignment, removing the cast.
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
    	* c-valprint.c (print_unpacked_pointer): Remove cast of NULL
    	pointer.
    	* dbxread.c (dbx_end_psymtab): Likewise.
    	* gnu-nat.c (gnu_write_inferior): Likewise.
    	* mdebugread.c (cross_ref): Likewise.
    	* p-valprint.c (pascal_val_print): Likewise.
    	* xcoffread.c (xcoff_end_psymtab): Likewise.
