ISO C++ forbids cast to non-reference type used as lvalue ?

[Shay Gal-On]

Another way to do this, which you may be able to script, is:
pbData = (DWORD *)pbData + 1;
Then you will get only a warning instead of an error.
It won't be to hard to script something looking for those lvalaues with += and converting them to the above form.
