We had a discussion about warnings some time ago, I think this is an excellent example of a warning that warns about something important yet it is completely useless. To someone who doesn't know the semantics of reinterpret_cast, perhaps the warning has some value, but for the rest of us what it really says is "Warning! You have used reinterpret_cast!"
I don't get it why we use reinterpret_cast in the first place. Shouldn't it be static_cast<U*>(static_cast<void*>(x)) ?
