Description
Locate all typecasts in dcmtk, determine appropriate new-style cast,
replace by new-style cast.
By default all casts should be replaced by static_cast or const_cast
(to cast away a const qualifier). Only in rare cases,
reinterpret_cast should be necessary (if static_cast is refused by
the compiler). dynamic_cast requires RTTI and should, in general,
not be needed by DCMTK.
Advantages: * better documentation (which cast is intended for which purpose) * easier to locate in source code * safer
When compiling the toolkit with gcc -Wold-style-cast,
a warning is generated for C style cast.
