Description
In pool.hpp there's a lot of reinterpret_cast usage like so:
static char * malloc(const size_type bytes)
{
return reinterpret_cast<char *>(std::malloc(bytes));
}
This is a case where static_cast should be used instead. reinterpret_cast is known to yield implementation specific behavior.

(In [62705]) Use static_cast instead of reinterpret_cast. Fixes #2941
