The size of integer that is required when a pointer is converted to an integer is implementation-defined. Casting between a pointer and an integer type should be avoided where possible, but may be unavoidable when addressing memory mapped registers or other hardware specific features.
Note that {cpp} does not permit a pointer to be converted to any floating type.
== Noncompliant Code Example
[source,text]
----
struct S
{
int32_t i;
int32_t j;
};
void f ( S * s )
{
int32_t p = reinterpret_cast< int32_t >( s ); // Noncompliant
}
