about type casting...

thanks...

So it's impossible...well...anyway I'm embedding my modules in DLL files. What if, in the host app, I declare

Code:

typedef int (WINAPI* LPFUNC_INIT)(void*);

then in the DLL file I use:

Code:

int WINAPI Init(strMyStruct* ptr)
{
}

it should work allright...is it true?

No. Never. Absolutely not.
Types must match, or you get undefined behavior.

but the type of a pointer is only an indication to the compiler on how to handle its arithmetic, isn't it? So why should it not work?
