Remember that the type of a pointer in C is important. So you really don't
want the compiler to just silently allow assignment of disparate pointer
types, just in case that's not really what you intended. You can either cast
it, as below, or you can declare the pointer as a void * (or more properly a
MemPtr) in the first place. What's wrong with casting that you want to avoid
it? It's a time-honored tradition in C that says, "Ignore that man behind
the curtain."
