>Description:
Compiler does not allow to cast pointer to object to pointer to function and vice versa, using reinterpret_cast operator. ISO forbids such operation for all other casts, but NOT for reinterpret_cast.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the following function:

void f(void *pv)
{
    void (*pf)() = reinterpret_cast<void(*)()>(pv);
}

The following error message appears:

  cast1.cc: In function `void f(void*)':
  cast1.cc:4: ISO C++ forbids casting between pointer-to-function and pointer-to-object
>Fix:
