What is a void pointer? Ans. A void pointer is a C convention for 'a raw address.' The compiler has no idea what type of object a void pointer 'really points to.' If you write int *ip; ip points to an int. If you write void *p; p doesn't point to a void! In C and C , any time you need a void pointer, you can use another pointer type. For example, if you have a char*, you can pass it to a function that expects a void*. You don't even need to cast it. In C (but not in C ), you can use a void* any time you need any kind of pointer, without casting. (In C , you need to cast it.)
