It’s a form of coding to debugging tools at the expense of human beings reading your code, and it’s Considered Harmful. In particular, the classic
linttool and perhaps some compilers generated warnings if you did not use the return value of a function that returned a value, and the only way to suppress this locally was to cast the result tovoid.Either ignore it, or fix it (remove the useless
voidcasts) if you have sufficient authority to do so.
