UnsafeMutablePointer.null() does not work? (Is unavailable?)

Question

In Swift, to get a null, I used UnsafeMutablePointer.null() but this did not work. Xcode says it is unavailable and I should use nil literal instead which gives me another error message. Do you have a fix?

Thanks.

Please provide some context. Where do you need the null pointer? Show your code and the exact error messages. — Martin R

I stumbled upon this post while trying to answer this question myself, and I found that this worked for me

let nullPtr = UnsafeMutablePointer<Int>(nil) // nil is the null pointer

This answer does nothing different than var nullPtr: UnsafeMutablePointer<Int>? = nil or simply passing nil as the parameter where an UnsafeMutablePointer<Int>? is expected based on documentation.
