[01:49:58] Dispatching on object: 0 [01:51:05] well, its different [01:52:01] void* should be f [01:52:10] when you call it, i mean [01:52:16] instead of 0 [01:52:31] thought i tries that, trying [01:53:56] ok, bingo got a value, onwards and upwards [01:54:03] sweet! [01:54:06] f = void* [01:54:14] f is a null ptr [01:54:26] so how is that passed to the lib call? [01:54:42] as opposed to a 0 [01:54:43] as if it were NULL, or you can pass an object [01:57:51] I guess i was thinking a char* got converted to a c-string as a byte array [01:58:46] that was in the wee hours this morning, re-reading I see it now [01:59:32] The C type char* represents a generic pointer to char; arguments with this type will expect and return aliens, and won't perform any implicit string conversion.
