And it is particularly true for // conversions between integral lvalues and floating-point lvalues. // // The purpose of 3.10 -15- is to allow optimizing compilers to assume // that expressions with different types refer to different memory. gcc // 4.0.1 has an optimizer that takes advantage of this. So a // non-conforming program quietly produces wildly incorrect output. // // The problem is not the use of reinterpret_cast. The problem is type // punning: holding an object in memory of one type and reading its bits // back using a different type. // // The C++ standard is more subtle and complex than this, but that // is the basic idea. // // Anyways ... // // bit_cast<> calls memcpy() which is blessed by the standard, // especially by the example in section 3.9 .
