(void *)

[Michael Meissner]

As one of the originators of void *, let me give you my perspective on it.
It was originally proposed to allow a generic pointer format, such that ANY
pointer's value can be represented without loss of information, such that
when converted back to the SAME pointer, it would give an equivalent pointer.
I would expect that on most implementations the presentation will be the same
as char *.
