Summary:
This check flags all usage of pointer arithmetic, because it could lead
to an
invalid pointer.
Subtraction of two pointers is not flagged by this check.
Pointers should only refer to single objects, and pointer arithmetic is
fragile and easy to get wrong. array_view is a bounds-checked, safe type
for accessing arrays of data.
This rule is part of the "Bounds safety" profile of the C++ Core
Guidelines, see

Summary:
This check flags all usages of static_cast, where a base class is casted
to a derived class.
In those cases, a fixit is provided to convert the cast to a
dynamic_cast.
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.

Guidelines, see
