Hi I'm porting lots of stuff to windows (i know, *arg*...) and while doing so i found something interesting in a C Source file: void* myptr = (void*)otherptr + 1; Which doesn't compile with the microsoft compiler (error: void*: unknown size). Now i think, that microsoft is right in that case, and that void really has an unknown size. Since the "+ 1" should add something like "one times sizeof type" to the pointer, what should the compiler add when void is encountered? I think the above is wrong and dangerous. Should the compiler catch this? With C++ gcc prints an error and exits, but because of type conversions, not because of the addition. I attached a small test program, which demonstrates this (maybe bug... ;o)). Should i officially report this issue? Cheers, Markus
