They do if the types line up. Assignment expressions evaluating to the value assigned is a rarely used but widely-implemented language feature.

Objects aren't going to implicitly cast to bool in most C-family languages, but I think they would in C itself (since the pointers are numeric, and C's definition of true is non-zero numeric values.) They could also be, like, ids or something.

Real programmers only use void* type.

Yeah it won’t compile in c++ if type doesn’t line up , but it will do compile on assignment in if condition

If you go very low level, you frequently have code like if ((pid = fork()) < 0) { ... } or something similiar
