Thread: convert reference to pointer?

Hi,

I have a function that gives me a string reference:

Code:

int funcA (string &s)
{ ...}

and within there I need to call a function that takes a void pointer:

Code:

int funcB(void *v) { ...}

is there any way to convert the string reference to a void pointer?

basically I want to call something like this (pass in the address of s)

Code:

 int result = funcB( &s );

What does funcB expect about the void pointer it is given? If it just using it as memory, then just pass in the address. If it expects say a character string, then you'll have to turn your string into a char[] or similar.

hmm,... actually I didn't expect funcB( &s ) to work
but I guess it does!

I thought since s was already a reference, that taking the address of s would be some kind of a double pointer. But I guess I thought wrong
