type cast void* parameter to be a ProductType pointer

Code:

---

typedef struct {
    EntityType ent;
    char name[MAX_STR];
    int  cost
} ProductType;


void moveProduct(void* product){
 //typecast?

}

---

I have a function moveProduct(void*) and I'm trying to figure out how to type cast the parameter to be a ProductType pointer, so that the product information is available. Does anyone know how to achieve this? I'm a little confused.

You are playing with fire here... it will burn you!

Here... have a match and some lighter fluid:

Code:

---

  ProductType *p;
  p = (ProductType *)product.

Why don't you just change the parameter to be a ProductType pointer? If you cannot do this because say, this function is intended to be passed as some kind of generic callback, then yes, casting to ProductType* in the function body is the right approach.
