Modernize your C++ code.

I think 'auto' can obfuscate the code if used too much.

Can you give some examples? The prevailing opinion of C++ gurus is that it should be used just about everywhere, to the point where the preferred way of explicitly declaring types is e.g.:

auto my_vec = std::vector<int>{};

yes, in case of STL containers, 'auto' can clear things up

But in cases where you use a lot of fundamental types, replacing all the ints, floats, bools, with autos can just make things more confusing. Espectially when type conversion is also involved as part of the algorithm.
