fix(cpp23): shadow identifier + C-style cast cleanup in Wave files (ADR-0839)

changelog.d/fixed/cpp23-shadow-const-fixes.md

@@ -0,0 +1,7 @@
+- Replaced all C-style casts (`(char*)`, `(void*)`, `(uint8_t*)`, `(size_t)`,
+  `(unsigned)`, `(decltype(...))`) with `static_cast<>` in
+  `core/src/feature/feature_collector.cpp` and `core/src/sycl/common.cpp`.
+- Renamed local variable `capacity` → `new_capacity` in
+  `core/src/fex_ctx_vector.cpp` to eliminate the `-Wshadow` hit against the
+  `rfe->capacity` struct member.
+- No behaviour change; the fixes are type-system-only (ADR-0839).

+# ADR-0839: C++23 wave — shadow-identifier and implicit-cast cleanup
+
+- **Status**: Accepted
+- **Date**: 2026-05-29
+- **Deciders**: lusoris
+- **Tags**: `cpp23`, `lint`, `core`, `sycl`, `fork-local`
+
+## Context
+
+The C++23 wave (ADR-0708 and follow-on waves) converted several `.c` files to `.cpp`.
+After conversion, three categories of C-allows-but-C++-warns issues remained unaddressed:
+
+1. **Shadowed identifier** — `fex_ctx_vector.cpp`: local variable `capacity` at the
+   realloc growth path shares a name with the `rfe->capacity` struct member. Clang's
+   `-Wshadow` and clang-tidy `bugprone-shadow` flag this.
+2. **Implicit C-style casts** — `feature_collector.cpp`: `(char*)`, `(void*)`,
+   `(FeatureVector**)`, `(VmafFeatureCollector*)`, `(VmafPredictModel*)`, and the
+   `(decltype(...))` pattern were carried forward from the C original. In C++ these are
+   `reinterpret_cast`-equivalent and defeat the narrowing checks `static_cast` provides.
+   `(VmafModelFlags)0` is a C-style enum cast where `static_cast<VmafModelFlags>(0)` is
+   the idiomatic C++ form.
+3. **Implicit C-style casts** — `core/src/sycl/common.cpp`: `(uint8_t*)`, `(size_t)`, and
+   `(unsigned)` casts in the frame-upload and plane-copy paths.
+
+None of these caused incorrect behaviour on existing platforms, but they produced
+clang-tidy `cppcoreguidelines-pro-type-cstyle-cast` hits and blocked the `-Wshadow`
+clean-compile goal for the C++23-wave files.
+
+## Decision
+
+Apply mechanical fixes to the three files:
+
+- Rename `capacity` → `new_capacity` in `fex_ctx_vector.cpp` to eliminate the shadow.
+- Replace every C-style cast with the appropriate `static_cast<>` in
+  `feature_collector.cpp` and `common.cpp`.
+- No behaviour change; the fixes are type-system-only.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+| Option | Pros | Cons | Why not chosen |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| NOLINT suppressions | Zero-diff to logic | Does not fix the underlying issue; NOLINT requires ADR citation per ADR-0278 | Against policy: refactor first |
+| Leave as-is until a dedicated lint sweep | Minimal churn | ADR-0141 (touched-file cleanup rule) requires fixing warnings in files we touch | Violated project rule |
+
+## Consequences
+
+- **Positive**: three files now compile clean under `-Wshadow` and without
+  `cppcoreguidelines-pro-type-cstyle-cast` hits; `static_cast<>` makes the intent of
+  each conversion auditable.
+- **Negative**: none — the changes are purely syntactic.
+- **Neutral**: the `(decltype(...))` idiom in `feature_collector.cpp` is replaced with
+  `static_cast<decltype(...)>(...)` which is slightly more verbose but standard C++.
+
+## References
+
+- ADR-0708 (C++23 pilot), ADR-0723 (fex_ctx_vector wave), ADR-0727 (dict wave),
+  ADR-0729 (model/feature_name/picture_copy wave), ADR-0733 (output wave),
+  ADR-0735 (cpu/ref/thread_locale/log wave).
