290Static cast from bogus void value

suggest change

If a void* value is converted to a pointer to object type, T*, but is not properly aligned for T, the resulting pointer value is unspecified. Example:

// Suppose that alignof(int) is 4
int x = 42;
void* p1 = &x;
// Do some pointer arithmetic...
void* p2 = static_cast<char*>(p1) + 2;
int* p3 = static_cast<int*>(p2);

The value of p3 is unspecified because p2 cannot point to an object of type int; its value is not a properly aligned address.
