Lint, (void *) and alignment

[tp at ndm20]

(void *) is note neccessarily the same as (char *).
If the machine is word addresseable, a (char *) might
not be aligned properly to point to an int, double, etc.
(void *) must be (char *) with the additional restriction
that the object pointed to be appropriately aligned for any
data type.
