well, yes and no.
float f = 10.2345f;
int i = reinterpret_cast<int>(f);
does not work - that cast is not allowed.
int i = static_cast<int>(f);
int i = (int) f;
both truncate to the integral part of f, i.e. i is 10 (btw. this is
probably what happens in the code mentioned above, seems wrong to me ;) ).
int i = *reinterpret_cast<int*>(&f);
is a violation of aliasing rules, I think.
That's why there are different version for integer and fp types even if
they have the same size.
Anyway, I now think this is just a typo, so unless somebody starts
jelling I'll apply the patch on Monday.
Thanks,
Carsten
