Btw, with void* you dont have to use reinterpret_cast. void* can be
casted to any pointer and any pointer can be casted to void*, with
static_cast. It's not THAT bad, I'm still using this for old-school
callbacks ("userdata"). What is VERY bad is to reinterpret POD (with a
pointer and a size).
Though it doesn't solve your problem, sorry ^_^
