Quite by chance, I stumbled on to what seems to be an error that ought to be
caught by the compiler but wasn't. Here's an example:
NSNumber *testNumber = [NSNumber numberWithInt:5];
int testInt = (int)testNumber;
However, the value of testInt when running the above is wildly incorrect (as
one would expect).
The similar code
NSNumber *testDouble = [NSNumber numberWithDouble:5.77];
double myDouble = (double)testDouble;
is flagged with the error message "Pointer cannot be cast to type 'double' ",
as it should be.
I'm running OSX 10.7.5 with Xcode 4.6 and using LLVM (I presume).
Should I file a bug report or is this a well-known anomaly that I've just come
across?
