+<p>
+By default SWIG treats <tt>void *</tt> as any other pointer and hence marshalls it as a type wrapper class called <tt>SWIGTYPE_p_void</tt>.
+If you want to marshall with the .NET <tt>System.IntPtr</tt> type instead, there is a simple set of named typemaps called
+<tt>void *VOID_INT_PTR</tt> that can be used.
+They can be applied like any other named typemaps:

+%apply void *VOID_INT_PTR { void * }
+void * f(void *v);
