operator new overloading

[Alamelu]

I have overloaded a new operater for a class that returns void * and i have
created an object for that class in heap as below.

CMyClass *pMyClass = new CMyClass(); // Here though i haven't explicitly
casted void* to CMyClass, the compiler doesnt give error at all.

But in c++ for void* to specific type ptr , explicite cast is required. What
was the cause for the above statement to work?

I dunno, but it would sure throw an exception in Visual FoxPro which is the
subject of this newsgroup. ;-)
