This pass only targets commonly used standard types.

C casts do not require parentheses. C++ casts require grouping around
the target. Prepare for conversion to C++ casts by adding otherwise
unnecessary parentheses around the target of simple C casts.
This pass does not attempt to process expressions that involve
any subexpression that can nest arbitrarily, such as parentheses or
brackets. It also works only on commonly used standard types.
