That's impressive. And how many bugs did you discover in the process ?
BTW, I agree that requiring many extra casts is a bad idea, because there's no way of telling if a cast is only intended to emphasize default semantics or if it should also twist the type compatibility.
I also note that gcc occasionally gets into the habit of encouraging a certain syntax, e.g. the use of parentheses when mixing &&, ||, etc. (a good move, IMHO), or the use of parentheses around assignments in if, while, and such (annoying, IMHO).
