Access pointer types as size_t is undefined. Here is a simple fix to the code itself: template static inline S* getPointerWithAlignment(char*& basePtr, size_t nEntries = =3D 1) { auto t =3D reinterpret_cast(basePtr); auto t1=3D getPointerWithAlignment(reinterpret_cast(basePtr), nEntries); basePtr =3D reinterpret_cast(t); return t1; } template static inline void computePointerWithAlignment(T*& basePtr, S*& objPtr, size_t nEntries =3D 1) { size_t t =3D reinterpret_cast(basePtr); objPtr =3D getPointerWithAlignment(t, nEntries); basePtr =3D reinterpret_cast(t); }=
