What both ends? :-) This is a rocket, not a plastic tube. And who plugs them, and where. In space, before landing?

That is not correct. The type used to write to the memory is int, not void or char. If the object, whose address is passed to the function is not compatible with int, the behavior …

I guess one could still be evil and pass a pointer to a non-int type to the function. That example is really bad, you don't need a void pointer to show this ub 'optimization'.

This is what I'm thinking too. The lack of dashboard is not because the car will be autonomous, it will be but only on the freeway, but because there will be a HUD.

Here is an alternative: Use a multiplicative linear congruential generator with a period 2^n , where n is ceil(log2(m)), where m is the size of the list. Seed the generator, start …
