[C] MFC's LPSTR type writing

Original post address: http://bbs.csdn.net/topics/340000641(LPSTR)(LPCTSTR)str Which idiot invented it?

CString str;
Then in order to pass in the ANSI string
(LPSTR) (LPCTSTR)str

Who was the idiot who wrote this kind of garbage code in the first place?

It's everywhere on the Internet, and almost everyone who uses MFC has seen or even written about it!

Even if it is VC6, there is no problem in writing the result like this, has no one thought about the meaning of LPCTSTR having an extra T? Isn't there anyone who has seen that you can still choose the UNICODE library when installing VC6? The lite version of VC6 is used too much!

UNICODE environment is written correctly
CString str;
CStringA strA(str);
strA.GetString(); or strA.GetBuffer(0);

Using APIs? It is also equipped with B, this is MFC!

Isn't there a person who writes such a simple thing as character conversion correctly?

shit！
