how to avoid compilation error: expression must be a modifiable lvalue

Hi.
I met a compilation error with following code. a physical buffer (communication buffer of MCU) tossed to void* dest. if I change all argument to local variable and pointer compilation successful.
First I thought, polyspace doesn't understand typecasting of void to other, but I guess now when physical address is tossed as argument then it occur compilation error "expression must be a modifiable lvalue", since polyspace doesn't understand physical address.
Am i thinking correct? and does anybody can help me to avoid compilation error?
typedef unsigned char u08;
void* AL_MemCpy (void* dest, const void* source, u08 count)
{
while (count--)
{
*((u08*)dest)++ = *((u08*)source)++;
}
}
// used in other function like below
(void)AL_MEMCPY(RxBuffer,&(data[1]),(u08)RxMessage.Length);

(u8 *) dest is a temporary variable, which cannot be increased. Perhaps you want this:
*((u08*)dest++) = *((u08*)source++);
But this copies the first byte only. Perhaps memcpy would be smarter?
Or:
u08 *d = (u08 *) dest, *s = (u08 *) source;
while (count--) {
*d++ = *s++;
}

+1 is for the last option shown, which I prefer since it is clear what is being done and avoids trying to apply the ++ operator to a (void *) type (which inherently doesn't make sense and isn't allowed since void is of unknown size) using fancy-mangled syntax (e.g., the first option shown above will not compile).
Actually this code cause MISRA Rule violation also. Even though it can be work with some compiler (Codewarrior) but compatibility can't be guaranteed.
Thanks to all.
