I suppose: "What are static_cast<> and reinterpret_cast<> *really*
supposed to do??" isn't sufficiently well-formed? ;)
How about this:
1) Under what circumstances does the following produce defined
behavior:
static_cast<T*>(static_cast<void*>(p));
A) Any time p's value points to an actual T, or is null, or T = void
B) Only when p is of type char* and points to an actual T, or is null,
or T = void
C) Never
D) Other
2) Under what circumstances is the following equivalent to the
above:
reinterpret_cast<T*>(p);
A) Always
B) Implementation-defined
C) Never
D) Other
Is that a reasonable statement of the problem?
Dave
