That's an implicit cast from void * to int * .

    void *malloc(size_t size);

In standard parlance, that is a conversion. Only (this) is a cast.

There's no such thing as an "implicit cast". A cast is an explicit conversion (a cast expression), and the assignment expression discussed here has an implicit conversion.
