Casting const char* to void*

Hakan · Nov 25, 2003

Is static_cast<void*>( const_cast<char*>( p )) the correct construction for
casting a const char* p to a void* p?

TIA.

Actually, you don't need the static_cast in most cases. Once you cast away
the const, the implicit conversion to void* will work.
