reinterpret_cast question

[axr0284]

Thanks for the reply. Exterminator could you explain more about what you mean by "You lose the type information and for some other casting operators, you get an overhead."

Also any idea how to cast an integer into a char pointer. The problem is that I need to create a packet containing the individual bytes that make up the integer. It is to be used as a packet in a network application.

I'll also look into static cast. Thanks
