Alexey Izbyshev <izbyshev at ispras.ru> added the comment:

Such casts will also trigger a CFI violation if somebody tries to build Python (and the libc, in this case) with a signature-based CFI [1, 2]. It checks that the compile-time callee signature matches the signature of the actually called function in runtime.
