Why we cant access SFRs by using pointers?
MB its safety precaution?!?

You need to show us your code as there is no technical reason why you can't.

| You need to cast the pointer to a type, or actually make the pointer be to a type. A void pointer, does not know how large the object it points to is, until it is told how large this object is. Some languages _assume_ a size, but this is not correct. |

OMG I just noticed that I have adjusted the TRIS as inputs.
It works now.
Nevertheless the pointer doesn't have a type, it works.
I might be a problem if increment the pointer (since it doesn't know the memory block length(I dont know what the default for void is. . .)) but it works with void type, structured this way.
I cant believe I didn't notice this (TRIS as inputs).
Excuse me I lost your time.
This way it works, despite of void type of pointer.
As long as I don't increment/ decrement the pointer here is no problem with the void type (my opinion and test approved).

| You are implicitly casting, when you read the object inside printf (you read an int). However it will fail if you add an offset, or do any actual pointer operation. Since there is no 'point' in using pointers except to perform a pointer operation, it is important to use a type. |
