We usually avoid C-Style casts in the code.

Ditto.

When SKIP_STATIC_CONSTRUCTORS_ON_GCC is defined, the types of these globals are non-const. For all other platforms, they are const.  This requires a combination of static_cast and const_cast, but it is dependent on the setting of this variable.

I think in this case, the old fashioned C-style cast is the most concise way of dealing with this.

Idem.

This build failure was introduced in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/155801.

Darin reverted part of the change back in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/155834/trunk/Source/WebCore/dom/make_names.pl.

This change is in keeping with Darin's adjustment.
