hello Everyone,
I have a problem with type casting. My code is
zcpr.next_in = FilePtr;next_in is a element of the zcpr structure where its type is and FilePtr is a void type pointer. zcpr is a z_stream type structure and next_in is a Bytef type pointer.
This code is a part of zlib library. Let me khow how to solve this type casting.
zlib I think was written in C language, not C++. If you want to compile it as c++ then there will most likely be a lot of places that require minor changes, such as typcasting void* to something else, such as zcpr.next_in = (Bytef *)FilePtr;
The zlib library is written in C. But I want to use in a C++ application. Is it a good idea to compile it under C++ environment in VC++?
If I try to compile it under C++, it gives a lot of error.

.\inftrees.c(306) : error C2673: 'inflate_table' : global functions do not have 'this' pointersHow to deal with these errors? Obviously C++ will not let use this pointer without a class.
