What would actually break if the declaration was changed from
void *cache_hint;
to
netsnmp_handler_args *cache_hint;
??
The name of the field is the same.
The size of the field is the name.
The position in the data structure is the same.
If anything is currently using this field, they must be casting
it to a 'netsnmp_handler_args*' anyway. That cast would become
redundant, but I don't think it would actually break.
