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.
