I don't see that in the C++ Standard. The following 4 compilers complain:


Microsoft
    the operand of a pointer dynamic_cast must be a pointer to a
complete class type
GNU g++
    cannot 'dynamic_cast' 'v' (of type 'void* const') to type 'void*'
(source is not a pointer to class)
LLVM clang++
    'void' is not a class type
Intel ICX
    'void' is not a class type

Just now I tried the same code on Microsoft Visual Studio 2022, and it
crashes. I'm not sure if it's also possible with the Microsoft ABI --
I'll read up on the Microsoft layout of vtables and try code it.
