| 113 | // |
| 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". |
| 119 | // |
| 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. |
| 123 | // |
| 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. |
| 128 | // |
| 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. |
| 132 | // |
| 133 | // The C++ standard is more subtle and complex than this, but that |
| 134 | // is the basic idea. |
| 135 | // |
| 136 | // Anyways ... |
| 137 | // |
| 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. |
| 141 | // |
| 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. |
| 147 | // |
