Language extensions

A cast has been applied to the left hand side of an assignment operation. This is a language extension. QAC is able to parse this syntax but does not interpret the semantics.

For example: 


/*PRQA S 1257,2017,3120,3195,3199,3203,3408,3625 ++*/

extern void foo(char p)
{
    (unsigned int)p = 0x12u;          /* Message 0551 */
}
