This check flags all uses of `reinterpret_cast` in C++ code.

Use of these casts can violate type safety and cause the program to access a variable that is actually of type `X` to be accessed as if it were of an unrelated type `Z`.

This rule is part of the Type safety (Type.1.1) profile from the C++ Core Guidelines.
