[Swig-devel] handling of void*

[mark g. <ma...@go...>]

Hello folks,

I have a bug report on void*

----------------------
The Lua module does not handle pointer arguments
correctly. For example, if a C function accepts a
void*, the binding will not allow calls with other
pointer types. I confirmed that this is not the case
with other SWIG modules.
----------------------

Is this true of other modules? Should I handle this?

eg. given void process(void*)
can I do

a=some_struct()
process(a)

should the converse also be legal, ie passing a void* to any function which wants a pointer.

Thanks,
Mark Gossage
