The cast should be safe, as it's a size_t to a double. It's just that having to!double() would have identified a problem, and if the speed hit would be avoided with the use of -release -noboundscheck I'd have assumed it would be worth it. But you're right, the simplest thing to do is to fix the implementation error. Related note -- what would you anticipate about the speed hit of isNan(x) versus if(booleanValue) ... ? Yes, I'll benchmark. :-P
