Please correct me if I'm wrong, the `CXXRecordDecl` is specific to C++ declarations, so the cast works as expected. In a C env, `RecordDecl` is used instead. We could wrap this in a condition to check specifically for C++, but `*RD` isn't required for `RequireCompleteType`. `RequireCompleteType` handles cases related to incomplete C types, so I'm not sure if we need to perform additional checks here.

```cpp
if (RequireCompleteType(Loc, ElemType, diag::note_non_literal_incomplete, T))
    return true;
```
