--- Comment #2 from M Welinder <terra at gnome dot org> --- > Why? If somebody wants to be explicitly stupid, that's their prerogative. I agree with the second sentence. However, casts are not a clear indication that somebody wants to be explicitly stupid, at least not in C++. If you were looking for such an indication, my int(int64_t(...)) suggestion is probably closer. Casts occur also in (e.g.) overload resolution and entirely too often in template soup. And in macros too, I guess. The goal here is to find time handling bugs. We are by definition talking about code that should not have been written that way in the first place.
