Are you speaking about rules provided in the C++ ISO standard ? Could you point me to them ? (page, section). I'd like to give them a look . Regards, Marco On Tue, 02 Oct 2007 12:32:22 +0200, Sebastian Redl <sebastian.redl@getdesigned.at> wrote:

C++ guarantees very, very little about reinterpret_cast, and certainly not that.
The rules about layout compatibility of POD structs seem to guarantee exactly that. I don't know how else to interpret them - that is, how else to even be in a situation where the compatibility rules apply, except by using reinterpret_cast or a C-style cast.
