i know:
- &varname is the adress of varname;
- *varname is the value of adressed variable.
but:
void *Vvariant=NULL;
friend ostream& operator <<(ostream &os,const variant2 &obj)
{
os << obj.Vvariant; //how can i get the value of adressed variable?
return os;
}
how can i get the value of adressed variable?
Jump to PostJust dereference it:
*obj.Vvariant. But since pointers tovoidcannot be dereferenced, you still need to castVvariantto something else.
Jump to PostWhat exactly is Vvariant supposed to be? It's impossible to get the value of a
void*(without typecasting it first), and it's dangerous to dereference a pointer that isNULL.

without typecasting, can i get the adressed values?
seems that i can't see what it is the type

Nope. You can get just the bytes of the pointed to value by casting to char*, but without knowing what they represent, it's not terribly useful.

You knew the type when you assigned a value to that void pointer, right? Save it so that you can recall it later.
yah.. thanks for all
