I know the code is wrong, but I was surprised at the /netbsd errors!

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
  void *foo;
  foo=(void *)new int;
  *foo=(void)3;
  cout << (int)*foo;

  return 0;
}

% g++ test.cc -Wall
test.cc: In function `int main()':
test.cc:7: invalid use of void expression
test.cc:7: confused by earlier errors, bailing out

whereas

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
  void *foo;
  foo=(void *)calloc(1,sizeof(int));
  *foo=(void)3;
  printf("foo: %i\n",(int)*foo);

  return 0;
}

just gives

% gcc -Wall test.c
test.c: In function `main':
test.c:8: warning: dereferencing `void *' pointer
test.c:8: invalid use of void expression
test.c:9: warning: dereferencing `void *' pointer
test.c:9: void value not ignored as it ought to be

For information to anyone who fiddles with the complier!
