1657585 - Use auto rather than repeating the type name in casts in the GC

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript: GC, task, P3)

Description

[Jon Coppeard (:jonco)]

As Steve pointed out casts like this duplicate the type name unnecessarily:

JSObject* obj = static_cast<JSObject*>(foo);

And can be replaced with:

auto* obj = static_cast<JSObject*>(foo);

I don't know whether we should make this part of SpiderMonkey style but let's do it in the GC at least.
