Hi all, I had a quick question: Let's say I design a function with the signature: void * foo( char * addr ) ; , where addr is a string that represents a valid memory address ... so the way someone can call this function is ... char * addr = "0xae456778" // assume this is a valid memory address on the machine foo( addr ) ; Is it possible to take this address in string form, and assign it to an actual pointer of void * type ? I want the function "foo" to return a pointer pointing to the memory location as indicated by the string passed in. Thank you !
