=== A.7.5 Casts ===

A unary expression preceded by the parenthesized name of a type causes conversion of the value of the expression to the named type.

    cast-expression:
      unary expression
      (type-name) cast-expression

This construction is called a cast. The names are described in Par.A.8.8. The effects of conversions are described in Par.A.6. An expression with a cast is not an lvalue.
