Malloc doesn’t even exist! He’s not canon!

You don’t need to cast the return value from malloc.

In c++ you should use new.

that is besides the point. You can still call malloc, it will still return void*, and it would still reqoire casting in c++

This isn’t malloc though. I have to assume the cast is because the user has experience with the output from an LLM being untrustworthy.

True. Although given how easy it is to cast void pointers to the wrong damn thing, it would be nice if you did, makes refactoring much easier. Makes me appreciate std::any all the more.

Void pointer should be avoided anyways. Even I find them rare and I mostly work in embedded RTOS
