Hi, I observed a strange behaviour (for me only) of void pointer. I wrote a code to access an integer through void pointer as below:
void *ptr; int a[2] = {1,2};
ptr = (int *)&a; ptr++; // This is giving error: Unknown Size
Why the above increment statement is giving error as i already cast the pointer to int type ?
Can anybody help me in understanding this ?

Thanks Neil for your suggestion. I know the basic of C, but some miscellaneous concept like void pointer, null pointer, dangling pointer,etc.. will not be explored in most of the book. Generally C book gives the basic programming guide, not the in depth knowledge. Or may be but i am not aware of such book.
If any one have idea then please let me know.
