CertC++-EXP55 EXP55-CPP. Do not access a cv-qualified object through a cv-unqualified type
CertC++-EXP59 EXP59-CPP. Use offsetof() on valid types and members
CertC++-FIO50 FIO50-CPP. Do not alternately input and output from a file stream without an intervening positioning call
CertC++-INT50 INT50-CPP. Do not cast to an out-of-range enumeration value
