Shouldn't one use c++-style casts instead. static_cast<type>() is the
one I think would be the one to use here. C-style casts are ambigous and
most of the time its difficult or impossible to know what they should
do.
This is the case because there is only one notation for all different
type casts in C. In C++ you can use different type cast for different
things.
See http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/typecasting.html
for all 4 type casts in C++.
