How does this bit make any difference? C99 6.5.4: Preceding an expression by a parenthesized type name converts the value of the expression to the named type. This construction is called a cast. A cast that specifies no conversion has no effect on the type or value of an expression. and 6.5.16.1: In simple assignment (=), the value of the right operand is converted to the type of the assignment expression and replaces the value stored in the object designated by the left operand. -- "Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
