Bit-stream casting is just a kind of static casting. It is tried when the casting expression is not assignment-compatible with the casting type. "In a static cast, the expression to be cast shall be enclosed in parentheses that are prefixed with the casting type and an apostrophe. If the expression is assignment compatible with the casting type, then the cast shall return the value that a variable of the casting type would hold after being assigned the expression. If the expression is not assignment compatible with the casting type, then if the casting type is an enumerated type, the behavior shall be as described as in 4.15, and if the casting type is a bit-stream type, the behavior shall be as described in 4.16." -- Brad ________________________________ From: owner-sv-bc@eda-stds.org [mailto:owner-sv-bc@eda-stds.org] On Behalf Of Bresticker, Shalom Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2006 1:59 AM To: sv-bc@eda-stds.org Subject: [sv-bc] types of casting Hi, What are the essential differences between static casting as described in 4.14 and bit-stream casting as described in 4.16 ? The differences don't seem to be clearly described. Thanks, Shalom Shalom Bresticker Intel Jerusalem LAD DA +972 2 589-6852 +972 54 721-1033 I don't represent Intel
