[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55542] Undefined behavior in loading oct files and shared libraries

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #55542 (project octave):

>From cppreference
(https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/reinterpret_cast)

> On some implementations (in particular, on any POSIX compatible system as
required by dlsym), a function pointer can be converted to void* or any other
object pointer, or vice versa. If the implementation supports conversion in
both directions, conversion to the original type yields the original value,
otherwise the resulting pointer cannot be dereferenced or called safely.

So this is explicitly allowed.
