While the above is certainly valid, I would think in this particular
case, casting pointers would be acceptable because a (char*) is allowed
to alias pointers of any other type. Or did I miss something?

But while on the subject, do you have any how to cleanly define a
variable-length array of int that alias a variable-length array of
short? Doing that in Speex could allow me to save another 512 bytes off
the fixed-point encoder memory.
