standard library functions or just plain pointer arithmetic.
Example C\C++:
int number = 12345;
unsigned char * charNumber
= (unsigned char*)&number;
if(charNumber[0] = 0x31
)
charNumber[0] = 0x0A;
SomeClass* clazz = new SomeClass();
unsigned char * pCharSomeClass
= (unsigned char*)clazz;
pCharSomeClass[0] = 0x00;
memset(pCharSomeClass,0xFF,10);
..........
The above mischief would be impossible in Java because
you could never cast inappropriate types to one
another. If
the compiler doesn't catch it as an fatal error
then any good
JVM should catch it during code verify phase of
class loading.
