Casting of void pointer returned by malloc()

Randy Howard · Mar 11, 2007

Would be indeed nice if C code writers also wrote C++ wrappers. And
python bindings, for completeness.

Why? Project schedules don't slip often enough?

I'd much rather see C++ programmers write C++ code if need be, and the
same for python.

It was a joke, related to the stuff you snipped.
