110 // // WRONG
111 // float f = 3.14159265358979; // WRONG
112 // int i = * reinterpret_cast<int*>(&f); // WRONG
114 // The address-casting method actually produces undefined behavior
115 // according to ISO C++ specification section 3.10 -15 -. Roughly, this
116 // section says: if an object in memory has one type, and a program
117 // accesses it with a different type, then the result is undefined
118 // behavior for most values of "different type".
120 // This is true for any cast syntax, either *(int*)&f or
121 // *reinterpret_cast<int*>(&f). And it is particularly true for
122 // conversions between integral lvalues and floating-point lvalues.
124 // The purpose of 3.10 -15- is to allow optimizing compilers to assume
125 // that expressions with different types refer to different memory. gcc
126 // 4.0.1 has an optimizer that takes advantage of this. So a
127 // non-conforming program quietly produces wildly incorrect output.
129 // The problem is not the use of reinterpret_cast. The problem is type
130 // punning: holding an object in memory of one type and reading its bits
131 // back using a different type.
133 // The C++ standard is more subtle and complex than this, but that
134 // is the basic idea.
136 // Anyways ...
138 // bit_cast<> calls memcpy() which is blessed by the standard,
139 // especially by the example in section 3.9 . Also, of course,
140 // bit_cast<> wraps up the nasty logic in one place.
142 // Fortunately memcpy() is very fast. In optimized mode, with a
143 // constant size, gcc 2.95.3, gcc 4.0.1, and msvc 7.1 produce inline
144 // code with the minimal amount of data movement. On a 32-bit system,
145 // memcpy(d,s,4) compiles to one load and one store, and memcpy(d,s,8)
146 // compiles to two loads and two stores.
148 // I tested this code with gcc 2.95.3, gcc 4.0.1, icc 8.1, and msvc 7.1.
