This sounds like it suggests undefined behavior

taking a pointer to a pointer of lets say a array of float
and adding 1 and then dereferencing this as int is undefined behavior

A pointer created that way may not be aligned correctly. This just happens
to work on the major platforms ...

Or said differently a int *array ; int array_len in a struct arent guranteed to have
the same distance between each other each time.
