= (void*) conversions =

Here are a few tips and scripts how to find unnecessary (void*) conversions.

== Find (void*) functions ==

Here's a script that finds all functions returning (void*): attachment:find_voidp_funcs.pl

Example: {{{
./find_voidp_funcs.pl linux-2.6.git/
}}}

== Finding assignments ==

Another script has an embedded list of such function names (after the __END__), or can take such names on the commandline:

Example: {{{
./find_voidp_funcs.pl linux-2.6.git kmalloc
}}}
