As I announced in https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2013-September/025532.html, this bug is to track bugs which changes to use toFoo() instead of static_cast<>. To use toFoo() for type casting, there are below benefits, - Bad type cast can be detected by using ASSERTION in toFoo(). The toFoo() function has an ASSERTION to check if source value is a proper super class. - Unnecessary local variables can be removed. There are some local variables, which are only used once in WebKit. In those cases, we don’t need to use a local variable. Besides, we can remove unnecessary ASSERTION because toFoo() already has it. - I believe toFoo() can improve code readability.
