I run the new check on LibreOffice codebase with the option CharTypdefsToIgnore 
= "sal_Int8".
The check produced 32 findings.

I see 3 false positives which are similar to the DereferenceWithTypdef test 
case where the code
uses sal_Int8 typedef, but the check still catches the cast, because the 
typedef information is
somehow lost by the dereferencing. Other use cases seem to be valid catches.

I had a closer look at some of the catches. Two of them were doing the same 
conversion what
an unsigned char conversion does. So there I replaced the old solution with a 
cast:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=85b5253492cd1c87cebc98d4c453812562a2f9ef

In other cases, the code is suspicious and surely would fail on non-ASCII 
characters, but
because of the context that does not happen. For example, a code which works 
with
font names never could get any special character, since font names are ASCII 
strings.

The output can be found here:
