C++ What's the named cast equivalent

Question

What's the named cast equivalent for the following old-style cast?

const string *ps;
void *pv;

pv = (void*)ps; // <--- this

Is it pv = static_cast<void*>(const_cast<string*>(ps)); ?

Answer 1

pv = const_cast<string *>(ps);

is good enough - void * is implicitly assignable from any (non-qualified) data (object) pointer type.

(Of course, for the same reason, a direct assignment to const void * without any casting would work.)
