It can't, because the various casts are asserting that everything is ok. The compiler isn't psychic and it isn't Lint (though I don't know if Lint would find these specific cases either). I would strongly suggest that if you want this sort of analysis then you take a look at some specialist code analysis tools. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30581
