AssignmentIntegerToAddress false positive

[Nikita Leontiev]

cppcheck 2.20.0 generates AssignmentIntegerToAddress for the following code:

#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
    int first_id = 1;
    int res = 5;
    const char* ptr = MAKEINTRESOURCE(res - first_id);
    (void)ptr;
    return 0;
}

cppcheck.exe --enable=all --library=windows .

test\main.cpp:7:18: portability: Assigning an integer to a pointer is not portable. [AssignmentIntegerToAddress]
 const char* ptr = MAKEINTRESOURCE(res - first_id);
                 ^

MAKEINTRESOURCE:

#define MAKEINTRESOURCEA(i) ((LPSTR)((ULONG_PTR)((WORD)(i))))

cppcheck doesn't take casting into account.
