I don't understand your use case, but for me, I try not to escape 
the type system.  Instead of using void*, I recommend templating. 
  That is the approach I took here:  
https://github.com/JinShil/memcpyD  It still does explicit casts 
to prevent code bloat, which is still escaping the type system, 
but at least it avoids pointer arithmetic.

I'm not sure if that's helpful, but regardless, there it is.
