Log Message:
Updated py-cffi to 1.8.3.
v1.8.3
======
* When passing a ``void *`` argument to a function with a different
pointer type, or vice-versa, the cast occurs automatically, like in C.
The same occurs for initialization with ``ffi.new()`` and a few other
places. However, I thought that ``char *`` had the same
property---but I was mistaken. In C you get the usual warning if you
try to give a ``char *`` to a ``char **`` argument, for example.
Sorry about the confusion. This has been fixed in CFFI by giving for
now a warning, too. It will turn into an error in a future version.
