REINTERPRET_CAST

REINTERPRET_CAST(type,exp) (reinterpret_cast<type>(exp))
REINTERPRET_CAST(type,exp) ((type)(exp))

Support

Supported from 5.0

Description

Reinterpret cast macro — deprecated.

This macro was originally provided to supply re-interpret cast functionality independent of the source compiler. It is now possible to use the reinterpret_cast operator in either GCC or VC6, and developers should do so in preference to using this macro.

In the Microsoft Visual Studio compiler the macro expands to the C++ reinterpret_cast operator. In GCC the macro expands to a standard C-style cast, as reinterpret_cast was not supported when the macro was written.

Parameters

type Destination type of cast. exp Expression to cast.
