Well, *I* haven't done it in a long time, but it used to be a fairly
standard thing. I imagine that back before memcpy was usually declared
with void * arguments, it was necessary to avoid compiler warnings.
The problem would still exist if the code were written
memcpy((void *) &foo, ...)
so I suspect that an in-line cast to void * wouldn't work any better.
