Hi! Use void*: MyType1* var1; void* ptr; ptr = var1; // C-Style cast var1 = (MyType1*)ptr; // Dynamic cast, checks types at runtime var1 = dynamic_cast<MyType1*>(ptr); // Reinterpret cast does the same as C-Style cast (at least i think so) var1 = reinterpret_cast<MyType1*>(ptr); .... Also you may want to look at the other *_cast operators (static_cast, etc)... Sorry, i don't want to insult you, but this made me laugh ;o) Cheers, Markus sebastian <> wrote: > Is there a possibility to break through the ISO-C++ standard with a > instruction in gcc that let me assign different objects (&Types) to > the same pointer? > > Best will be to let allow the declaration of a typeless pointer ( > NULL *p; or NULL p;) that can be assigned with every other pointer of > an object (class initialisation or void members (void > FunctionName(void) ). > So only pointers get handled and called and memory(stack) keeps being > conform.
