Is there some tool that can automatically convert the following c style code
A *a = b;
to
A *a = (A*)b;
Thanks,

Assuming this is to eliminate compiler errors, I would probably write one myself. Run the compiler on the source, and redirect error messages to a file. Filter out the errors where it complains about the type. For example, in gcc, they will look like this:
This gives you all you need: file and line number, as well as the type you need to cast to (i.e.
int*). Find a likely place in the line to insert the cast (i.e. after the = character, or after the return statement), and try again. Keep track of the lines that you already edited, and skip them for human intervention.
