As in title, code which check eligibility of exceptions with pointer types to 
be handled by exception handler of type `void *` disallowed this case. It was 
check:

```c++
if (isStandardPointerConvertible(ExceptionCanTy, HandlerCanTy) &&
          isUnambiguousPublicBaseClass(
              ExceptionCanTy->getTypePtr()->getPointeeType().getTypePtr(),
              HandlerCanTy->getTypePtr()->getPointeeType().getTypePtr())) {
```

but in `isUnambiguousPublicBaseClass` there was code which looked for 
definitions:

```c++
bool isUnambiguousPublicBaseClass(const Type *DerivedType,
                                  const Type *BaseType) {
  const auto *DerivedClass =
      DerivedType->getCanonicalTypeUnqualified()->getAsCXXRecordDecl();
  const auto *BaseClass =
      BaseType->getCanonicalTypeUnqualified()->getAsCXXRecordDecl();
  if (!DerivedClass || !BaseClass)
    return false;
```

This code disallowed usage of `void *` type which was correctly detected in 
`isStandardPointerConvertible`.

AFAIK this seems like misinterpretation of specification:

> 14.4 Handling an exception
> a standard [pointer conversion](https://eel.is/c++draft/conv.ptr) not 
> involving conversions to pointers to private or protected or ambiguous classes
(https://eel.is/c++draft/except.handle#3.3.1)

and 

> 7.3.12 Pointer conversions
> ... If B is an inaccessible 
> ([[class.access]](https://eel.is/c++draft/class.access)) or ambiguous 
> ([[class.member.lookup]](https://eel.is/c++draft/class.member.lookup)) base 
> class of D, a program that necessitates this conversion is 
> ill-formed[.](https://eel.is/c++draft/conv.ptr#3.sentence-2) ...
(https://eel.is/c++draft/conv.ptr#3)

14.4 is carving out private, protected, and ambiguous base classes, but they 
are already carved out in 7.3.12 and implemented in 
`isStandardPointerConvertible`
