and require the unnormalized
C ASTs for the project. To enable them, add the following
WARNING_FILTER rule and RETAIN_UNNORMALIZED_C_AST specification to the project configuration file.
RETAIN_UNNORMALIZED_C_AST = Yes WARNING_FILTER += allow class="Cast: reinterpret_cast" |

reinterpret_cast<Derived *>(b); // 'Cast: reinterpret_cast' warning issued here;
// use static_cast instead
reinterpret_cast<void *>(b); // ok: casting a pointer to void*
// (exception case 1)
reinterpret_cast<void *>(c); // 'Cast: reinterpret_cast' warning issued here
// - exception case 1 applies only when casting a pointer
reinterpret_cast<std::uintptr_t>(b); // ok: casting a pointer to an integer type
// large enough represent a pointer value
// (exception case 2)
// Exception case 2 applies only when casting a pointer.
// The following reinterpret_cast expression is commented out

The following configuration file parameters affect checks for this warning class.
