Rule 11.2 and example from Exemplar Suite
#1
In the mc2_1102.c file there is a following example:

Code:
float32_t float32_1102;
   void *void_ptr = ( void * ) get_int32_ptr ( );
   float32_1102 = ( float32_t ) void_ptr;           /* Not Compliant */

Is the conversion between void pointer and a float type object disallowed by the 11.2 rule?

According to my understanding the rule 11.2 disallows conversions only if we are converting to or from a pointer to object.
float type is clearly not a pointer to object type.
Pointer to void is not a pointer to object type, because void is not an object (it's an incomplete type).

Please correct me if my understanding is not correct.
