> gcc8.1 throws this warning irrespective of the cast since converting function pointers may result in undefined behaviour unless it is cast back to its original type.

Do you have a reference explaining this issue? I dislike adding a memory allocation to call a function just to fix a compiler warning. From my point of view, at the end, the function pointer is just an integer. I don't understand how an additional memory allocation solves the issue.
