Sorry, drifting off-topic, and I'm not sure what XtPointer is, but based on your comment above, it seems it is a void pointer, and you can indeed static_cast a void pointer to any other (object) pointer type (as long as you don't drop cv qualifiers).
In my last standard reading, the conclusion I came to was that the only cast through void that is sane is the one to the exact same type, or possibly to/from char.
Sorry, right, I was referring strictly to a syntactic context, but the semantics is also important. - Jeff
