Hi Thorsten
I must say that I agree with Kevin (and the gcc compiler) here. A C-style cast is not only a const cast; it is a everything-cast...
indeed.
if the only purpose is to cast away const, be clear and use a const cast. I can see no compelling reason (except laziness) not to.
well, I'm pretty lazy :-) I can't remember exactly why I did not use a const_cast...perhaps because the current cast was more portable. somehow. -Thorsten
