One of my functions accepts a void* parameter. I want to cast the argument to a structure pointer, but i get the warning that the pointers are incompatible. Is there any way to do this?

How are you casting it?

prototype: function( void* one );
cast: one = (str*)one;

"one = (str*) one;"

That assigns the str* back to the variable "one", giving you a warning because it has to convert back from str* to void*. It does nothing.

how ''bout this:
"str* other = (str*) one;"

How appropriate. You fight like a cow.
