Description

The Ruby bindings apply the Ruby NIL_P macro to an apr_hash_t * value, which some compilers flag as a type error. We see this while building the bindings against Ruby 3.2 with a compiler that roughly behaves like -Werror=int-conversion (no implicit conversions between integers and pointers).

The attached patch should fix this issue.
