Re: The void** pointer breaking symmetry?

Big apologies, I accidentally pasted only the 'correct' of the two
symmetry related cases:
Here is the complete code:
char *cp;
void *vp;
void **vpp;
// 1
cp=vp;
// 2
cp=*vpp;
// 3
vp=cp;
// 4
vpp=&cp;
In short: if 1 and 2 work, why does the reversion work in case 3 but
fail in case 4 with the GCC message "warning: assignment from
incompatible pointer type" ?
Thanks again,
Elmar
