Typecasting error in C++

873: error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'fabl_infod_twamp_reply_t*'

And the code in lines 870-873 is;

     870:        reply_hdr = 
     871:              fabl_infod_extract_from_message(sizeof(fabl_infod_twamp_reply_t), 
     872:                                   &buffer_pos,
     873:                                   &buffer_length);

The function parameters for "fabl_infod_extract_from_message";

static inline void * fabl_infod_extract_from_message (uint32_t struct_size, 
                                  uint8_t **buffer_pos, 
                                  uint32_t *buffer_length)

Any suggestions appreciated!

Though I have tried typecating as;

reply_hdr =  (void *)fabl_infod_extract_from_message(sizeof(fabl_infod_twamp_reply_t), 
                                        &buffer_pos,
                                        &buffer_length); 

The program is in C++.
