Unfortunately, this was not enough info for me to reproduce your problem.

A T might be more strictly aligned, and so the compiler warns.

The way to do that is via a void *, as in ((T *)(void *)ptr). Ugh. This seems like a terrible kludge, a cast to a cast to a value. Do you think that code would be cleaner if there was a char* conversion function in _Obj? Does the 3.2 SGI release still have this problem? Anyway. -Benjamin
