Problem with "Lvalue required"

[alexei]

Other compilers are OK with this (see code below). Is it because of ANSI?
Is there a way to do such things without re-declaring variables?
I mean typecasting any variable to any type.

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  unsigned z;
  void* p;
  (int)z = (int)z-5;
  (int)p = (int)p+2;
  return 0;
}

Test.c(5): error #2088: Lvalue required.
Test.c(6): error #2088: Lvalue required.

The answer is no. You can sometimes cast the right side so that it matches the left side but you can never cast the left side or change a variable into a different type.

float f = 1.0;
int i;
i = (int)f;
