Description David Hoyt 2009-03-07 06:08:20 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I get "error C2036: 'gpointer' : unknown size" using msvc to compile gstadder.c.  This URL describes the error: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1kay26wa.aspx 

It can be fixed by casting to (guint8*) first. So you end up with:

memset ((guint8*)outdata + insize, 0, outsize - insize);


Steps to reproduce:
Compile gstadder.c using visual C++ (vs 2008).


Actual results:
Compile error

Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
Yes

    Don't do void pointer arithmetic.
