Talk:Static cast

duration_cast

Uhh, this doesn't fit with the theme here. I thought we were talking about c++ operators, not function(templates). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geof23 (talk • contribs) 04:29, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Revert

static_cast was an individual article, then without discussion and reasons given was changed to redirect to the type conversion article. I reverted the static_cast article back to its content before redirection. --Abdull (talk) 21:40, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

reinterpret_cast

What is the difference between static_cast and reinterpret_cast ? The redirect to type punning is not helpful as that article does not explain the construct. -- Juergen 62.143.196.71 (talk) 23:02, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

(I know this is an old question.) In practice, static_cast performs pointer adjustments whereas reinterpret_cast doesn't. Also, the former only allows conversions between related types (when applied to pointers or references) on the one hand, but can be used to convert between arithmetic types and types with user-defined conversions on the other. reinterpret_cast<U*>(p) is pretty much synonymous to static_cast<U*>(static_cast<void*>(p)). This can be dangerous and should only be used in low level code such as allocators. Aragorn2 (talk) 12:34, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
