I happen to like type checking, so I'd suggest using a union of types
instead of a 'void **'. Perhaps something like:
typedef struct mac_propval_int_range_s {
uint32_t range_min;
uint32_t range_max;
} mac_propval_int_range_t;
typedef enum mac_propval_rtype_e {
pvlInteger
} mac_propval_rtype_t;
typedef struct mac_propval_range_s {
uint_t range_num;
mac_propval_rtype_t range_type;
union {
mac_propval_int_range_t **pvl_ir;
} u;
} mac_propval_range_t;
#define range_int u.pvl_ir
... but it's probably not a big issue.
