Hi,

I am just reading about reinterpret_cast<> unfortunately I don't understand much other than what I have stated below:

reinterpret_cast allows any pointer to be converted into any other pointer type.

So when can this come in handy ?

I am really sorry my book doesn't speak about it, and I didn't quite understand the stuff I read on the internet.

I would appreciate any simple interpretation of reinterpret_cast and its use or any link that does that.

Thanks,
Muthu
