Previous versions of the compiler allow conversion from false to a null pointer, so this used to work, though maybe with a warning. Replacing false with nullptr or nil or whatever upstream uses for null will probably fix it. And also, it does look like there's a response for your other queston on https://bugs.debian.org/811866
