Well, "broken" seems in any case an exaggeration to me. In this case triggers
as expected, for example:
char* p = (char*)"txt";
because it looks like a pure const_cast, from the C++ point of view. If it
doesn't and we proceed checking whether it's a static_cast, reinterpret_cast,
etc, we have this kind of comment (before build_static_cast_1):
/* Perform a static_cast from EXPR to TYPE. When C_CAST_P is true,
this static_cast is being attempted as one of the possible casts
allowed by a C-style cast. (In that case, accessibility of base
classes is not considered, and it is OK to cast away
constness.) ...
thus, the behavior seems *definitely* intended. Maybe Jason can help finishing
the triage of this.
