title: Casting a const void*
body: <p>I have a function that returns a <code>const void*</code> and I'd like to use its information as a <code>char*</code>. I can cast it C-style fine as <code>(char *)variable</code> but when I try to use <code>reinterpret_cast</code> like <code>reinterpret_cast&lt;char *&gt;(variable)</code>, I get a compilation error.</p>
  
  <p>Should I use a different casting method?</p>
