Casting a function pointer to another type

Question

Let\'s say I have a function that accepts a void (*)(void*) function pointer for use as a callback:

void do_stuff(void (*callback_fp)(void*), vo         


        

Answer 1

If you think about the way function calls work in C/C++, they push certain items on the stack, jump to the new code location, execute, then pop the stack on return. If your function pointers describe functions with the same return type and the same number/size of arguments, you should be okay.

Thus, I think you should be able to do so safely.
