void is, by definition, an "incomplete type". That explains all why you said. Re-read the C++ norm about incomplete types. If, after that read, you still feel the need to discuss, find out a mailing list, a forum, or a Usenet group, about C++. gcc@gcc.gnu.org is not the right list for such a discussion.
