Perhaps you mean C-style casts? You still have to cast in C++, but it looks different and often does it implicitly (which can be a bad thing, see also passing a Manager to a function accepting an Employee instead of reference to Employee, as discussed in Stroustrup).

I meant pointer casts that attempt to simulate a C++ class hierarchy using C structs with casts.
