Compiler Warning (level 4) C4213

nonstandard extension used : cast on l-value

Microsoft C/C++ allows casts to be used on the left side of an assignment statement.

The following is an example of this error:

void *a;
void f()
{
   int   i[3];
   a = &i;
   *(( int * )a )++ = 3;  // warning
}

This extension can prevent your code from being portable to other compilers and will generate an error under the /Za command-line option.
