// implicit_cast()
47
//
48
// Performs an implicit conversion between types following the language
49
// rules for implicit conversion; if an implicit conversion is otherwise
50
// allowed by the language in the given context, this function performs such an
51
// implicit conversion.
52
//
53
// Example:
54
//
55
//   // If the context allows implicit conversion:
56
//   From from;
57
//   To to = from;
58
//
59
//   // Such code can be replaced by:
60
//   implicit_cast<To>(from);
61
//
62
// An `implicit_cast()` may also be used to annotate numeric type conversions
63
// that, although safe, may produce compiler warnings (such as `long` to `int`).
64
// Additionally, an `implicit_cast()` is also useful within return statements to
65
// indicate a specific implicit conversion is being undertaken.
66
//
67
// Example:
68
//
69
//   return implicit_cast<double>(size_in_bytes) / capacity_;
70
//
71
// Annotating code with `implicit_cast()` allows you to explicitly select
72
// particular overloads and template instantiations, while providing a safer
73
// cast than `reinterpret_cast()` or `static_cast()`.
74
//
75
// Additionally, an `implicit_cast()` can be used to allow upcasting within a
76
// type hierarchy where incorrect use of `static_cast()` could accidentally
77
// allow downcasting.
78
//
79
// Finally, an `implicit_cast()` can be used to perform implicit conversions
80
// from unrelated types that otherwise couldn't be implicitly cast directly;
81
// C++ will normally only implicitly cast "one step" in such conversions.
82
//
83
// That is, if C is a type which can be implicitly converted to B, with B being
84
// a type that can be implicitly converted to A, an `implicit_cast()` can be
85
// used to convert C to B (which the compiler can then implicitly convert to A
86
// using language rules).
87
//
88
// Example:
89
//
90
//   // Assume an object C is convertible to B, which is implicitly convertible
91
//   // to A
92
//   A a = implicit_cast<B>(C);
93
//
94
// Such implicit cast chaining may be useful within template logic.

119

121
// every bit in the value representation of the result is equal to the
122
// corresponding bit in the object representation of the source). Source and
123
// destination types must be of the same size, and both types must be trivially
124
// copyable.
125
//
126
// As with most casts, use with caution. A `bit_cast()` might be needed when you
127
// need to treat a value as the value of some other type, for example, to access
128
// the individual bits of an object which are not normally accessible through
129
// the object's type, such as for working with the binary representation of a
130
// floating point value:
131
//
132
//   float f = 3.14159265358979;
133
//   int i = bit_cast<int>(f);
134
//   // i = 0x40490fdb
135
//
136
// Reinterpreting and accessing a value directly as a different type (as shown
137
// below) usually results in undefined behavior.
138
//
139
// Example:
140
//
141
//   // WRONG
142
//   float f = 3.14159265358979;
143
//   int i = reinterpret_cast<int&>(f);    // Wrong
144
//   int j = *reinterpret_cast<int*>(&f);  // Equally wrong
145
//   int k = *bit_cast<int*>(&f);          // Equally wrong
146
//
147
// Reinterpret-casting results in undefined behavior according to the ISO C++
148
// specification, section [basic.lval]. Roughly, this section says: if an object
149
// in memory has one type, and a program accesses it with a different type, the
150
// result is undefined behavior for most "different type".
151
//
152
// Using bit_cast on a pointer and then dereferencing it is no better than using
153
// reinterpret_cast. You should only use bit_cast on the value itself.
154
//
155
// Such casting results in type punning: holding an object in memory of one type
156
// and reading its bits back using a different type. A `bit_cast()` avoids this
157
// issue by copying the object representation to a new value, which avoids
158
// introducing this undefined behavior (since the original value is never
159
// accessed in the wrong way).
160
//
161
// The requirements of `absl::bit_cast` are more strict than that of
162
// `std::bit_cast` unless compiler support is available. Specifically, without
163
// compiler support, this implementation also requires `Dest` to be
164
// default-constructible. In C++20, `absl::bit_cast` is replaced by
165
// `std::bit_cast`.
