efriedma added a comment. Generally, with an explicit cast, C allows any pointer cast with a reasonable interpretation, even if the underlying operation is suspicious. For example, you can cast an "long*" to a "int*" (as in "(int*)(long*)p") without any complaint, even though dereferencing the result is likely undefined behavior. (C doesn't allow explicitly writing a reinterpret_cast, but that's basically the operation in question.)
Along those lines, in general, the normal C rules should allow casting `foo*` to `bar*` for any object types foo and bar, even if foo and bar are pointers with address spaces, like `__local int *` and `__global int *`. I don't see anything in the OpenCL standard that would contradict this. It looks like this patch changes that? I agree we shouldn't allow implicit conversions, though...
