I have an incr function to increment the value by 1
I want to make it generic,because I don't want to make different functions for the same functionality.
Suppose I want to increment int,float,char by 1
void incr(void *vp)
{
(*vp)++;
}
But the problem I know is Dereferencing a void pointer is undefined behaviour. Sometimes It may give error :Invalid use of void expression.
My main funciton is :
int main()
{
int i=5;
float f=5.6f;
char c='a';
incr(&i);
incr(&f);
incr(&c);
return 0;
}
The problem is how to solve this ? Is there a way to solve it in Conly
or
will I have to define incr() for each datatypes ? if yes, then what's the use of void *
Same problem with the swap() and sort() .I want to swap and sort all kinds of data types with same function.
