Oh yes, in C++ it would be fine. Not in C, unfortunately.

(Interesting note: this wias added in C++ because of templates, so that
you could write, e.g.,

    template<typename T> T bla () { return (T) foo; }
and then go ahead and use bla<void>() without having to specialise it.)

Well, it's just that MSVC is shouting its head off about it, and I'd
like to have as few warnings as possible. Probably GCC would, too, with
-pedantic, but I haven't tried.
