I am not sure I understand this. Is that this code is illegal?

[Well, the //'s are illegal, because they're a syntax error... -mod]

int comp(const type* p1, const type* p2) {
	// logic here
}

type array[size];

qsort(array, sizeof(array)/sizeof(array[0]), sizeof(array[0]), 
(int(*)(const void*, const void*)) comp);

and that this is?

int comp(const void* p1, const void* p2) {

	// logic here with ((type*) p1) and ((type*) p2)
	
}

type array[size];

qsort(array, sizeof(array)/sizeof(array[0]), sizeof(array[0]), comp);
