Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. In my experience, the undefined behavior sanitizer in GCC for userspace programs complains about merely casting a pointer to the wrong type. I never went into the standards rabbit hole to figure out the details. It might be a C++ only thing (ubsan cannot tell the difference otherwise anyway), but that was the reason for doing the change in this more complicated way. Are you sure that this is defined behavior in C? If so, I'd be happy to go with the version that has less churn. I'll also get rid of those ww_mutex_lock* wrapper functions.
