pointer to void property
Given the following:
int a = 10;
int *p;
void *p1;
unsigned char *p2;
p = &a;
p1 = p;
p2 = p1;
is a guarantee made that I can access the object representation
via 'p2'?
Will the value assigned between different pointer to object types
through use of a generic pointer preserve this value?
I know it is guaranteed to be preserved if it is assigned from a
pointer to an object type to a void pointer and back again to said
pointer to object type. But will the value assigned between different
pointer to object types through use of a generic pointer, preserve this
value?
