What is void*?

[keh k lenge]

What is a void*? What are its uses(I saw something regarding interfaces)?

[dhayden]

It is a pointer to who-knows-what. It has the nice property that a pointer to anything can be implicitly cast to a void*.

In C++ there aren't many uses for it. It's more common in C.

you see it in threading still, where the args to the thread function are bundled into a void*.
