How to find (and replace) all old C-style data type casts in my C++ source code?

Question

How can I locate all old C-style cast in my source?

I\'m using Visual Studio, may be there is some compiler warning that I have to enable?

Answer 1

I don't know of a compiler switch that reports these, or anything else built-in in Visual Studio.

However, here is a Perl script that will search your source tree and find all of the C style casts in your source. It works fairly well for tracking them down.
