Why can't I make my parameter like this?

Question

- (void)setPropertyValue:(const *void)inValue forID:(UInt32)propertyID {

}

The compiler doesn't like the const *void, for some reason. When I have that, it says:

error: expected ')' before 'void'

When I make the parameter like (UInt32)foo there is no problem. Does const *void only work in functions?

I need a parameter which can be a "pointer to anything" like UInt32, Float64, etc.

Answer 1

Do you mean const void *?

Answer 2

Use

(const void*)

instead. (const * void) doesn't work in C++ / C either.
