I often see code like this:

        CS_VOID * buffer;
        CS_INT int_val;
        memcpy(buffer, &int_val, sizeof(CS_INT));

I wouldn't use memcpy().  I would cast it:

        *(CS_INT*) buffer = int_val;

Is there some reason not to do that?  Surely my code is easier to
understand and requires fewer instructions.
