Accessing 'reg.write_index' directly triggers a -Waddress-of-packed-member warning due to potential unaligned pointer access:

perf_test.c:239:38: warning: taking address of packed member 'write_index' of class or structure 'user_reg' may result in an unaligned pointer value [-Waddress-of-packed-member]
239 | ASSERT_NE(-1, write(self->data_fd, &reg.write_index,

      |                                             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since write(2) works with any alignment. Casting '&reg.write_index' explicitly to 'void *' to suppress this warning.
