The following:
	((char *)src)++;	/* src is an (int *) */
when compiled using Solaris SparcWorks 3.0.1, generates:
	"t.c", line 12: warning: a cast does not yield an lvalue

I fully understand why it makes no sense to say:

	(char *)src = x;

but, if the compiler thinks that it is stupid to interpret:

	((char *)src)++;
as:
	(char *)src = (char *)src + 1;

then why is it doing it, since I am intending:

	src = (char *)src + 1;

A cast on an operator like "++" should only be applied to the RHS.

What does the standard say?

The following isn't pretty but is the only why to get rid of the warning message:
	
*(char *)(src=(int *)((char *)src+1)) = *(char *)(dst=(int *)((char *)dst+1));
