Having read what Yao said, and looking at the example you gave,
I'm now thinking that one could very well be the cause of the other;
it seems like the cast might indeed be returning a value with
a struct type that's missing the return type. Even a subprogram
which returns nothing has a TYPE_TARGET_TYPE set to a TYPE_CODE_VOID,
right?
