A notation that I see in many books is
#if COMPILER_HAS_VOID
typedef void VOID
#else
typedef char *VOID
#endif
(God I hope I got that right)
This allows you to use VOID as a (char *) until all the compilers you port
to have void.
My old source code uses VOID. Now that all my compilers have a real
"void" I am slowly getting into the habit of not holding the SHIFT key as
I type "void". You could estimate the date of a source file by monitoring
the % of VOIDs verses voids. :-)
