- Subject: bit_cast status
std::bit_cast was added to the C++ 20 draft this summer:
http://eel.is/c++draft/bit.cast
What's the status for inclusion in libstdc++?
Does anyone have a patch or plans to implement it?
Are there any blockers or implementation issues?
Existing implementations use memcpy so are not constexpr.
The std version will need compiler help to be constexpr.
Thanks, Will
