tool hunt |
Is there anything that will hunt down c-style casts and replace them
with the appropriate new-style cast?

Unfortunately, it pretty much would take a compiler to select the
proper new-style cast -- an automated tool would need to properly
disambiguate the cast from similar constructs, and to be aware
of inheritance etc.
So the best approach I could think of -- if you really care to
"upgrade" the code -- would be to manually go through the list
of C casts (can trigger a warning with various compilers), then
use a set of editor macros to convert to a new-style cast with
minimal keystrokes... no better idea unfortunately.

Anyone know if MSVC has such a warning? I can't find one.

I dont know how anything but a compiler would know the differance between
(int *)somevar and foo(int *). I Imagine there are warning levels cause the
compiler to spew warnings about c style casts. At least in VS. I am not sure
about others. You'd have to check the docs.

My opinion is, if the code is OK, do not bother to modify the casts. Use
the newest C++ casts in your new code.
