Will the following program give any warning on compilation in TurboC (under DOS)?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int *p1, i=25;
void *p2;
p1=&i;
p2=&i;
p1=p2;
p2=p1;
return 0;
}

Why can't we use Arithmetic on void pointers?

In GCC compiler showing no error and no output.

But we didn't typecast it and still we are using it how?

No error, because void pointer can take any datatype.

This program will not give any error or warning on gcc compiler until and unless we will not try to print p2 value.
But if we try to print p2 value it will give an error such as:
Warning: dereferencing 'void *' pointer
Error: invalid use of void expression.
So solve this this kind of error,we need to typecast the void pointer.
Such as:
printf("value of p2 is %d
",*(int*)p2);
Thank you.

It is compiling on Turbo C. Ideally it should not as yes, arithmetic cannot be performed on Void Pointer.
