Re: Replacing old C-style casts with static|reinterpret_cast?

[Daniel Boles <dboles src gmail com>]

Murray and Kjell: Any thoughts on the prospect of replacing C style casts with reinterpret_cast where appropriate? Chiefly, when converting between opaque (and thus not static_castable, and also probably breaking aliasing rules...) pointers to GObjects at different levels of the inheritance hierarchy.

I did prepare a patch doing this for master, which I think covered all or most instances, and compiled - and can't foresee any possible issues - but obviously discussion is needed (and my foresight is not exactly renowned).

If this works, then it would be another nice C++ification to see throughout the codebase.

Cheers!
