But assuming it doesn’t the context is p_ch = the bits above… the code declaring p_ch isn’t shown but I’m guessing that the value here is actuality a pointer to a pointer so nothing illegal would be happening.
Lastly… C++ is really lacking in guarantees so you can assign a char to the first byte of an integer - C++ doesn’t generally care what you do unless you go out of bounds.
The reason I’m casting to void* is just pure comedy.
Much better… but can we make it
*((void*)(p = p + 1))?How about some JavaScript
p+=[]**[]?Why are you casting to
void*? How is the compiler supposed to know the size of the data you are dereferencing?This would probably cause a compiler error…
