Nope the following cannot be warned about because you first change the pointer
to an integer and then
cast it to a char pointer which is only defined iff int is the same size as the
pointer (which is warned
about on 64bit targets):
// This, however, does not warn...but should:
evil_string_modifier((char *)(int)"Test string three.");
Not warning is correct as there is a cast inbetween.
the docs are clear:
Warn whenever a pointer is cast so as to remove a type qualifier from the
target type. For example,
warn if a const char * is cast to an ordinary char *.
Since the cast to int is inbetween there, the warning does not makes sense any
more.
