Well, I'm not sure. 5.2.10/7: "A pointer to an object can be explicitly converted to a pointer to an object of different type.65) Except that converting an rvalue of type "pointer to T1" to the type "pointer to T2" (where T1 and T2 are object types and where the alignment requirements of T2 are no stricter than those of T1) and back to its original type yields the original pointer value, the result of such a pointer conversion is unspecified. If void* is not a "pointer to an object" then reinterpret_cast<void*> is invalid. Otherwise it just yields an undefined result. I haven't found a definition of "pointer to object" in the standard; anyhow certainly void is not an object type. Genny. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
