Hi hackers,
Attached is a patch to $SUBJECT.
This is the same kind of idea as 7f798aca1d5 and ef8fe693606, as their presence
could cause risks of hiding actual type mismatches in the future or silently
discarding qualifiers. I think that it also improves readability.
Those have been found with a coccinelle script as:
"
@@
type T;
T E;
@@
- (T)
E
"
which removes casts when it's casting to the same type.
Note that it generated more that what is in the attached. I chose not to remove
some of them (mainly arithmetic ones) to keep the patch focused on what matters
here.
Thoughts?
Regards,
