It's safe to cast to a char pointer and use the char pointer, but in this case you are casting away from a char pointer. Bouncing a non-char pointer through a char pointer doesn't give any relief from the usual strict aliasing rules. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkxkP1YACgkQ5vihyNWuA4VslQCfccDLWRNcgpH0OhfT9qxeXJXA dbQAnjEb+bwpRdUH/2myqMfWMYmBJbCP =D2e7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
