    I’m sorry are we somehow assuming floating-point pointers, now, of course you need to convert there.

    “floating-point pointers” is not a thing:

    “casting” is a specific thing you do in C

    No it’s not:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_conversion

    In computer science, type conversion,[1][2] type casting,[1][3] type coercion,[3] and type juggling[4][5] are different ways of changing an expression from one data type to another.

    You don’t even have a clue, you are just talking trash.

    In assembly you don’t generally talk about pointers, but address modes. Like register, immediate or memory (indirect).

    Have you ever actually been programming any serious assembly? Because you sure don’t sound like it.
