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;
}

Here we defined main function type as int. Then how can we declare void within this main function?

No @badusa, its not like that, void means anything; it can store any data of any type.
Compiler can only follow the instruction & there is no warning.

In Turbo C there is no warning or error on compilation.
But in GCC, it shows the following error:
Error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'int*'.
This is due to platform dependency. GCC is a modern compiler while comparing to the typical Turbo C.

Should be converted like for integer (*((int *) voidpointervariable)

Here we've declared 'p2' as the void pointer, which meaning it can refer to any kind of data type.
we've refered it to an integer pointer as well as the referance of integer variable to pointing to the void pointer.
Is program is legal.

Turbo c compiler can run this program because there is not check this program,but in borland c or Visual studio will have error.we can not use 2nd time void pointer without typecast.

Is void valid only for pointer value?
Because if I change it to a normal variable it shows-.
Error: "variable or field declared void".

No error in DOS also. I checked it.

Is void used to store only data? I can't understood.
