Hi,

Sometimes, a generic pointer is very useful. For instance, the Windows
API documents functions that have untyped pointers. These allow great
flexibility and behave like the variant type in other languages but
with efficient memory consumption. Delphi Pascal has both the variant
and untyped pointer types. This clearly shows there are advantages to
having the possibility of using untyped pointers. The Windows API
CreateProcess function is such an example.
