We have
typedef struct {
int i;
int j;
...
} testType;
testType * xP;
Then allocate memory for xP, assign xP->i, etc.
QUESTION. Is it always legitimate to reference xP->i by "*((int *) xP)"?
NOTE. "i" is the very first item in the structure
EXAMPLE. This happens in FrmGetWindowHandle() via WinGetWindowHandle().
I would like to know if this legitimate according to the specification of C
and if it is hardware independent. My guess is that it is OK but I would like
to be reassured and I would even appreciate pointers [no pun intended] for
it.
