MISRA C:2012  Rule-11.5:  (Advisory)			A conversion should not be performed from pointer to void into pointer to object

Exception:

A null pointer constant that has type pointer to void may be converted into pointer to object.

Example Code:

#pragma PRQA_MESSAGES_OFF 2982,2983,3408,3447

#include <stdlib.h>
#include "misra.h"
#include "m3cmex.h"

extern int16_t rule_1105( void )
{
    void * pv = NULL;
    int16_t  * pi;

    pi = (int16_t *)pv;                         /* 0316 */
    pi =        pv;                             /* 0317 */
    pi = NULL;                                  /*      */
    pi = (void *)0;                             /*      */

    return 0;
}

QAC messages that encompass this guideline:

0316	[I] Cast from a pointer to void to a pointer to object type.
0317	[I] Implicit conversion from a pointer to void to a pointer to object type.
