Strong Typing: Hard to Get Right

Pascal is pretty much dead, so let's have a...

C Example

        #include <stdio.h>

        int main(void) 
        {
          unsigned char *c;
          float f = 10;

          for (c = (char *)&f; 
               c < sizeof(float) + (char *)&f; 
               c++) {
            printf("%u ",  *c);
          }
          putchar('\n');

          return 0;
        }

The warning is spurious
