  2. static_cast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_cast

    converting a pointer of a base class to a pointer of a non-virtual derived class (downcasting); converting numeric data types such as enums to ints or floats . Although static_cast conversions are checked at compile time to prevent obvious incompatibilities, no run-time type checking is performed that would prevent a cast between incompatible ...

    std::to_address to convert a pointer to a raw pointer [42] calendar and time-zone additions to <chrono> [ 43 ] std::span , providing a view to a contiguous array (analogous to std::string_view but span can mutate the referenced sequence) [ 44 ]

  4. Type punning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_punning

    On many common platforms, this use of pointer punning can create problems if different pointers are aligned in machine-specific ways. Furthermore, pointers of different sizes can alias accesses to the same memory, causing problems that are unchecked by the compiler. Even when data size and pointer representation match, however, compilers can ...

  5. Pointer (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_(computer_programming)

    A basic example is in the argv argument to the main function in C (and C++), which is given in the prototype as char **argv—this is because the variable argv itself is a pointer to an array of strings (an array of arrays), so *argv is a pointer to the 0th string (by convention the name of the program), and **argv is the 0th character of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_data_types

    char * pc [10]; // array of 10 elements of 'pointer to char' char (* pa)[10]; // pointer to a 10-element array of char The element pc requires ten blocks of memory of the size of pointer to char (usually 40 or 80 bytes on common platforms), but element pa is only one pointer (size 4 or 8 bytes), and the data it refers to is an array of ten ...

  7. Run-time type information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-time_type_information

    The dynamic_cast operator in C++ is used for downcasting a reference or pointer to a more specific type in the class hierarchy. Unlike the static_cast, the target of the dynamic_cast must be a pointer or reference to class. Unlike static_cast and C-style typecast (where type check occurs while compiling), a type safety check is performed at ...

  8. Pointer swizzling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_swizzling

    In computer science, pointer swizzling is the conversion of references based on name or position into direct pointer references (memory addresses). It is typically performed during deserialization or loading of a relocatable object from a disk file, such as an executable file or pointer-based data structure .

    For the purposes of these tables, a, b, and c represent valid values (literals, values from variables, or return value), object names, or lvalues, as appropriate.R, S and T stand for any type(s), and K for a class type or enumerated type.
