converting void pointer to pthread_t on HPUX Itanium
i am trying to convert void pointer to pthread_t on hpux-itanium 64 bit which fails as below

Code:
"src/file.cpp", line 88: error #2171: invalid type conversion
          pthread_t tid = reinterpret_cast<pthread_t>(m_threadId);

1 error detected in the compilation of "src/file.cpp"

^

m_threadId is of type void *

Any help?
