"An address constant ... shall be created explicitly using
the unary & operator or an integer constant cast to pointer type, or
implicitly by the use of an expression of array or function type."
(6.6p9). (void*)0 fits the second option, so that expression contains
two address constants as sub-expressions, but the ?: expression itself
doesn't fit any of the three options.
