   One more question, but 1st the context...   
      
   I asked ChatGPT this question:   
      
       In C, what is the most common meaning of (void) *foo   
      
   Its reply:   
      
       In C, (void) *foo most commonly means:   
      
       “Evaluate *foo, but explicitly discard its value.”   
      
       It is a cast-to-void used to silence warnings about an   
       unused expression or unused result.   
      
   My question: Why?
