@barquq @lapis what the fuck, i was gonna say this now what do i write

re: c++ complaining, wall of text 

@aescling again I return to the statement "reinterpret_cast<T&>(x) is the same thing as *reinterpret_cast<T*>(&x)"

A reinterpret cast to a reference type is equivalent to a dereferenced reinterpret cast of a pointer. It is very explicitly not a pointer.

re: c++ complaining, wall of text 

@aescling you are right, you can only reinterpret cast to a char pointer or reference. i was mistaken about the existence of reinterpret casts to char

I don't understand how the result is a char pointer. It is not. It is a char reference. References are aliases. They are like macros to the original thing. They aren't a number representing a location in memory. They are another name for the variable itself

@aescling according to this stackexchange answer stackoverflow.com/a/5924278/22

"reinterpret_cast<T&>(x) is the same thing as *reinterpret_cast<T*>(&x)"
