      True. Although given how easy it is to cast void pointers to the wrong damn thing, it would be nice if you did, makes refactoring much easier. Makes me appreciate std::any all the more.

        Void pointer should be avoided anyways. Even I find them rare and I mostly work in embedded RTOS

      This isn’t malloc though. I have to assume the cast is because the user has experience with the output from an LLM being untrustworthy.
