// implicit_cast()
//
// Performs an implicit conversion between types following the language
// rules for implicit conversion; if an implicit conversion is otherwise
// allowed by the language in the given context, this function performs such an
// implicit conversion.
//
// Example:
//
//   // If the context allows implicit conversion:
//   From from;
//   To to = from;
//
//   // Such code can be replaced by:
//   implicit_cast<To>(from);
//
// An `implicit_cast()` may also be used to annotate numeric type conversions
// that, although safe, may produce compiler warnings (such as `long` to `int`).
// Additionally, an `implicit_cast()` is also useful within return statements to
// indicate a specific implicit conversion is being undertaken.
//
// Example:
//
//   return implicit_cast<double>(size_in_bytes) / capacity_;
//
// Annotating code with `implicit_cast()` allows you to explicitly select
// particular overloads and template instantiations, while providing a safer
// cast than `reinterpret_cast()` or `static_cast()`.
//
// Additionally, an `implicit_cast()` can be used to allow upcasting within a
// type hierarchy where incorrect use of `static_cast()` could accidentally
// allow downcasting.
//
// Finally, an `implicit_cast()` can be used to perform implicit conversions
// from unrelated types that otherwise couldn't be implicitly cast directly;
// C++ will normally only implicitly cast "one step" in such conversions.
//
// That is, if C is a type which can be implicitly converted to B, with B being
// a type that can be implicitly converted to A, an `implicit_cast()` can be
// used to convert C to B (which the compiler can then implicitly convert to A
// using language rules).
//
// Example:
//
//   // Assume an object C is convertible to B, which is implicitly convertible
//   // to A
//   A a = implicit_cast<B>(C);
//
// Such implicit cast chaining may be useful within template logic.

// bit_cast()
//
// Creates a value of the new type `Dest` whose representation is the same as
// that of the argument, which is of (deduced) type `Source` (a "bitwise cast";
// every bit in the value representation of the result is equal to the
// corresponding bit in the object representation of the source). Source and
// destination types must be of the same size, and both types must be trivially
// copyable.
//
// As with most casts, use with caution. A `bit_cast()` might be needed when you
// need to treat a value as the value of some other type, for example, to access
// the individual bits of an object which are not normally accessible through
// the object's type, such as for working with the binary representation of a
// floating point value:
//
//   float f = 3.14159265358979;
//   int i = bit_cast<int>(f);
//   // i = 0x40490fdb
//
// Reinterpreting and accessing a value directly as a different type (as shown
// below) usually results in undefined behavior.
//
// Example:
//
//   // WRONG
//   float f = 3.14159265358979;
//   int i = reinterpret_cast<int&>(f);    // Wrong
//   int j = *reinterpret_cast<int*>(&f);  // Equally wrong
//   int k = *bit_cast<int*>(&f);          // Equally wrong
//
// Reinterpret-casting results in undefined behavior according to the ISO C++
// specification, section [basic.lval]. Roughly, this section says: if an object
// in memory has one type, and a program accesses it with a different type, the
// result is undefined behavior for most "different type".
//
// Using bit_cast on a pointer and then dereferencing it is no better than using
// reinterpret_cast. You should only use bit_cast on the value itself.
//
// Such casting results in type punning: holding an object in memory of one type
// and reading its bits back using a different type. A `bit_cast()` avoids this
// issue by copying the object representation to a new value, which avoids
// introducing this undefined behavior (since the original value is never
// accessed in the wrong way).
//
// The requirements of `absl::bit_cast` are more strict than that of
// `std::bit_cast` unless compiler support is available. Specifically, without
// compiler support, this implementation also requires `Dest` to be
// default-constructible. In C++20, `absl::bit_cast` is replaced by
// `std::bit_cast`.
