Porting a bunch of Windows C++ (which I didn't write) to Xcode.

Apparently a void* is being used as a field of a struct which holds a ptr to an object and the actual object type (class) can vary.

No, there isn't.  The C++ standard says you can only delete() things allocated with new(), as delete() must call free() first.  So the compiler cannot generate correct code for delete of a 'void *'.  The warning is there to warn you that your code may be doing any number of unintended things.

What are you really trying to do?
