- // implicit_cast()
- //
- // Performs an implicit conversion between types following the language
- // rules for implicit conversion; if an implicit conversion is otherwise
- // allowed by the language in the given context, this function performs such an
- // implicit conversion.
- //
- // Example:
- //
- // // If the context allows implicit conversion:
- // From from;
- // To to = from;
- //
- // // Such code can be replaced by:
- // implicit_cast<To>(from);
- //
- // An `implicit_cast()` may also be used to annotate numeric type conversions
- // that, although safe, may produce compiler warnings (such as `long` to `int`).
- // Additionally, an `implicit_cast()` is also useful within return statements to
- // indicate a specific implicit conversion is being undertaken.
- //
- // Example:
- //
- // return implicit_cast<double>(size_in_bytes) / capacity_;
- //
- // Annotating code with `implicit_cast()` allows you to explicitly select
- // particular overloads and template instantiations, while providing a safer
- // cast than `reinterpret_cast()` or `static_cast()`.
- //
- // Additionally, an `implicit_cast()` can be used to allow upcasting within a
- // type hierarchy where incorrect use of `static_cast()` could accidentally
- // allow downcasting.
- //
- // Finally, an `implicit_cast()` can be used to perform implicit conversions
- // from unrelated types that otherwise couldn't be implicitly cast directly;
- // C++ will normally only implicitly cast "one step" in such conversions.
- //
- // That is, if C is a type which can be implicitly converted to B, with B being
- // a type that can be implicitly converted to A, an `implicit_cast()` can be
- // used to convert C to B (which the compiler can then implicitly convert to A
- // using language rules).
- //
- // Example:
- //
- // // Assume an object C is convertible to B, which is implicitly convertible
- // // to A
- // A a = implicit_cast<B>(C);
- //
- // Such implicit cast chaining may be useful within template logic.

- // bit_cast()
- //
- // Performs a bitwise cast on a type without changing the underlying bit
- // representation of that type's value. The two types must be of the same size
- // and both types must be trivially copyable. As with most casts, use with
- // caution. A `bit_cast()` might be needed when you need to temporarily treat a
- // type as some other type, such as in the following cases:
- //
- // * Serialization (casting temporarily to `char *` for those purposes is
- // always allowed by the C++ standard)
- // * Managing the individual bits of a type within mathematical operations
- // that are not normally accessible through that type
- // * Casting non-pointer types to pointer types (casting the other way is
- // allowed by `reinterpret_cast()` but round-trips cannot occur the other
- // way).
- //
- // Example:
- //
- // float f = 3.14159265358979;
- // int i = bit_cast<int32_t>(f);
- // // i = 0x40490fdb
- //
- // Casting non-pointer types to pointer types and then dereferencing them
- // traditionally produces undefined behavior.
- //
- // Example:
- //
- // // WRONG
- // float f = 3.14159265358979; // WRONG
- // int i = * reinterpret_cast<int*>(&f); // WRONG
- //
- // The address-casting method produces undefined behavior according to the ISO
- // C++ specification section [basic.lval]. Roughly, this section says: if an
- // object in memory has one type, and a program accesses it with a different
- // type, the result is undefined behavior for most values of "different type".
- //
- // Such casting results in type punning: holding an object in memory of one type
- // and reading its bits back using a different type. A `bit_cast()` avoids this
- // issue by implementing its casts using `memcpy()`, which avoids introducing
- // this undefined behavior.
- //
- // NOTE: The requirements here are more strict than the bit_cast of standard
- // proposal p0476 due to the need for workarounds and lack of intrinsics.
- // Specifically, this implementation also requires `Dest` to be
- // default-constructible.
