If you * long into the void, the void ** into you.

Did Nietzsche have pointers in mind when he wrote that?

It was Churchill, 1st Lord of the Admiralty. Carry on up the Dardanelles, what?

A singular void that is dissimilar from its application in C or C++
A Void
COM?
HRESULT __stdcall Option2::QueryInterface(const IID& iid, void** ppv)
{ 	
	if (iid == IID_IUnknown)
	{
	//	trace("Return pointer to IUnknown.");
		*ppv = static_cast<IOption2*>(this);
	} 
	else if (iid == IID_IOption2)
	{
		//trace("Return pointer to IOption2.");
		*ppv = static_cast<IOption2*>(this);
	}
	else
	{  	   
	//	trace("Interface not supported.");
		*ppv = NULL;
		return E_NOINTERFACE;
	}
	reinterpret_cast<IUnknown*>(*ppv)->AddRef(); 
	return S_OK;
}

Google "trientropy" or look me up on Arxiv. All feedback welcomed.

With great thanks to Wilmotters over all these years.

Regards

Happy New Year Cuch!

With Love

2020 is of course a periodic number in every base >=3 and so perhaps, even sadly, it cannot be a prime year.

I have fond memories of Random Walkers - perhaps another?

Perhaps p-adic numbers can fix it.
