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