Yep.

dynamic_cast executes at run-time and only works on polymorphic types
(classes with virtual methods), whereas reinterpret_cast executes at
compile-time and works on numeric types (pointers and integers).

You don't need to cast anything manually at all in this situation.  Pointers
are automatically implicitally casted to void* by the compiler.  Just pass
the pointers to the function as-is, like I showed you earlier.

Such as?
