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

Unfortunately there isn't a compiler warning in Visual C++ that points out these casts (at least not one that I know of), although it looks like PC-Lint does provide a warning/note that warns you if you use an old-style cast. Depends if you're willing to spend the money on PC-Lint - in my opinion it's definitely worth for all the issues you can find with it...
