"Normal" C code is emphatically not C++ code, because normal C code often uses malloc() and seldom explicitly casts the return value to the desired pointer type because C's implicit conversion rules say that void * is implicitly castable to any other pointer type and programmers are often lazy. C++ discarded that implicit conversion.
