I am the original author of style checker patch reported in previous mail by Gyuyoung.
My logic for checking the error is simple: - In the patch, I check for any line which contains regex static_cast<Foo*>. - If line does contain it, I pick the regex part Foo and search for Foo.h in the codebase. - In Foo.h, I check for toFoo signature and if it is present, I ask the user to use it. If the signature is not present, I throw the message of adding the toFoo() and using it. - In cases, where Foo.h is not found, I don't report any error (which I plan to look in future for more refining). I have raised the bug https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122156 for tracking this change in WebKit and will soon be porting the patch which got committed in blink ( https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/blink?view=rev&revision=158628).
