Re: void** syntax question

I think you have to do something like this because int** isn't a compatible type with void**.

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
int i = 123;
int *p = &i;
 
void pop( void **data ) {
  *data = p;
}
 
int main() {
  int *q;
  void *pv;
 
  pop( &pv );
  q = static_cast<int*>( pv );
 
  return 0;
}
int i = 123;
int *p = &i;

void pop( void **data ) {
  *data = p;
}

int main() {
  int *q;
  void *pv;

  pop( &pv );
  q = static_cast<int*>( pv );

  return 0;
}
