I doubt that this is the message you get.  Assigning to an lvalue is
surely not deprecated.  But a cast expression is not an lvalue.
Moreover, a FILE is an opaque structure that cannot be allocated with
malloc, only the C library is able to do that.  Whatever you are trying
to do here, it will not work.
