How to allocate typeless memory to a pointer using 'new'.

In C++ there is normally no reason to allocate typeless memory,
except in allocators for classes for which the normal new is not desired,
where the placement new is used for the allocated memory.
So, I wonder why you need both the normal new and typeless memory.

Anyhow, you can get more or less typeless memory with
new char[Size]
and converting the resulting pointer to a void* pointer.
(Don't forget to deallocate the memory with delete[].)

You don't. You allocate typeless memory to a pointer using malloc()...

E.g.:
void* mem = :perator new(100);

for allocation of 100 bytes.

Call the allocator function (operator new()) directly.
