explicit (void *) casts
Started by Kevin Grittnerover 15 years ago3 messages
I'm wondering the reason that I see (void *) casts for function call
parameters which are pointers to specific structures. Do some
compilers generate warnings if these are omitted? It's hard to
believe that the generated code would differ without them.

There are some places where we do that to suppress warnings, yes.
Any particular place where you think it's unnecessary?
