Subject: [std-proposals] PROPOSAL: allow implicit conversion from void * to X *
Hello.
C allows void * to X * implicit conversions.
However I found that C++ does not offer such feature, preferring developers to use static_cast
Casting explicitly because the element types aren't the same slows down development speed and adds no technical benefit.
So I propose that we allow C-style implicit conversions, to speed up ease of development.
Thank you for your considerations.
