These errors also match MSVC's behavior.
+- Clang now diagnoses indirection of ``void *`` in C++ mode as a warning which
+ defaults to an error. This is compatible with ISO C++, GCC, ICC, and MSVC. This
+ is also now a SFINAE error so constraint checking and SFINAE checking can be
+ compatible with other compilers. It is expected that this will be upgraded to
+ an error-only diagnostic in the next Clang release.
+
+ .. code-block:: c++
+
+ void func(void *p) {
+ *p; // Now diagnosed as a warning-as-error.
+ }
