Hello, given the following structure:

struct nmslist_elem_s {
    nmptr data;
    struct nmslist_elem_s *next;
};
typedef struct nmslist_elem_s nmslist_elem;

Where:

typedef void* nmptr;

Is it possible to write a MACRO that retrieves the data from the element and cast it to the right type:

MACRO(type, element) that expands to *((type*)element->data). For example for int, i would need something like this: *((int*)(element->data)) .
