IIRC C++0x is going to introduce a trait for this purpose, so we'll be able to write something like:

   template <typename VoidPtr>    struct node    {        typedef typename            convert_pointer<VoidPtr, node> node_ptr;        node_ptr next_;    };

But we can't do that until the trait is available for current custom pointer types.

Vicente> You are right, we need this trait. BTW, are you referring to pointer_traits when you use convert_pointer, isn't it?

Probably, I was just writing up what I remembered from when I tried to implement this for Boost.Unordered a while back. Daniel
