MISRA.CAST.PTR

Cast between a pointer to object type and a different pointer to object type.

MISRA-C Rule 11.4 (advisory): A cast should not be performed between a pointer to object type and a different pointer to object type.

Conversions of this type may be invalid if the new pointer type requires a stricter alignment.

Example

uint8_t * p1;
uint32_t * p2;

p2 = (uint32_t *)p1; /* Incompatible alignment ? */
