cgen error: _ := voidptr(a) about v

[shove70]

I think, string -> voidptr Should be disallowed, whether it's in unsafe or not.

A C error is also thrown when byteptr and charptr casts are used instead.

It shouldn't be allowed, because string is a struct. It's not a charptr (which is char *) or a byteptr (which is basically the same thing). Casting string.str to one of these will be fine, but not string itself.

@Delta456 @JalonSolov did you get any feedback on disallowing cast of string to any pointer (byteptr charptr ...)?

Nope.
