I can make the cast work by storing it in a uint16_t or larger type:
void process_uint8_t( const std::string& bytes ) { const boost::uint16_t * data_ptr; boost::uint16_t data;
data_ptr = reinterpret_cast<const boost::uint16_t*>(bytes.data()); data = *data_ptr;
std::cout << data << "," << sizeof(data) << std::endl; }
I thought this would work in a uint8_t as well, but it doesn't.
Thanks,

What doesn't work about it? The std iostreams print char types as (extended) ascii characters. What if you cast the type to a wider integer just when printing? Brian
