Hi Marvin,
Can you provide an example of which C compiler is flagging this as
an error and what error message is generated.
Please enter a BZ with this background information and add link to the
BZ in the commit message.
This is a change to the BaseLib class, so we need to make sure there
are no impacts to any existing code. I looks like a safe change
because changing from a pointer to a fixed size type to VOID *
should be compatible. Please add that analysis to the background
in the BZ as well.
Thanks,
Mike
