I recently upgraded my IAR EW430 compiler to the latest version from a
very old 1.26 version. I am getting this compile error on a line of
code that did not have an error before.

The error is:

Error[Pe513]: a value of type "void *" cannot be assigned to an entity
of type "void (*)(void)"

and the line of code is:

task[j].detail.fun_ptr = (void *)in_ptr;

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,

fun_ptr is a void(*)(void) and in_ptr is an unsigned char *. How do
I cast in_ptr to a void(*)(void) in the latest compiler? Start a New Thread

I usually do this with a typedef:

typedef void *functionType(void);

task[j].detail.fun_ptr = (functionType)in_ptr;
