I have a different objects, like this:
typedef struct { int32_t info ; } item1_properties_t ;
and
typedef struct { int32_t info ; } item2_properties_t ;
the objects are held in containers. I want to introduce a function that returns these objects (i.e. a const pointer) with minimum casts (working in C). I thought of having the function return the type and a void pointer, expecting the caller to cast correctly but I don't really like it. Do you have better ideas?
I don't think it is a good idea to restrict question to only address the tool chain and/or uv4. That will rule out many important questions concerning USB, hardware, correct programming techniques etc. True - this is a Keil forum, but this is a classical case where the sum of the parts supersedes/engulfs the whole!
