You're right on the money there. The reason I ask is that I wrote
a library for myself that implements a few generic data structures.
The data structures do in fact use 'void' pointers. So far I've had
no problems but there are still a few semantic issues on which I'm
unable to come to a decision.

I was hoping someone else out there may have tackled the same or
similar issues and wanted to compare notes.

Anyone?
