It isn't about the return value, it's about the calculation. Casting it to void * results in the addition of N bytes - otherwise we would add sizeof(struct ipt_entry_target)*N > Have a nice day, > Fabrice. -- Live long and prosper - Harald Welte / [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ GCS/E/IT d- s-: a-- C+++ UL++++$ P+++ L++++$ E--- W- N++ o?
