You're right. I didn't realise that fixed_type_or_null handles the
NOP_EXPR case as part of CASE_CONVERT.

I've made some changes in v3 to handle reference casts and the case
where resolves_to_fixed_type_p > 0. I've also slightly modified the
patch title to reflect the new changes.
Thanks as always!
v2: https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2022-March/591894.html
Changes since v2:
- Handle reference casts and add new tests.
- Warn if resolves_to_fixed_type_p > 0 to handle more general cases.
v1: https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2022-March/591683.html
- Add new warning flag.
- Use resolves_to_fixed_type_p.

Subject: [PATCH] c++: warn on undefined casts from Base to Derived ref/ptr
[PR96765]
In some cases, converting a Base class reference/pointer to Derived
is undefined behavior.
This patch adds a new warning for them (-Wderived-cast-undefined).
