How so? You can certainly:
struct B { int i; };
struct C { struct B b; } __attribute__ ((packed));
extern struct C *p;
long* g8 (void) { return (long *)p; }
and similarly for C. So, why is explicit cast something that shouldn't
be warned about in this case and implicit cast should get a warning,
especially when it already does get one (and one even enabled by default,
-Wincompatible-pointer-types)?
Either such casts are problematic and then it should treat explicit and
implicit casts the same, or they aren't, and then
-Wincompatible-pointer-types is all you need.
