Did you try one of the Convert.To* methods? Try Convert.ToInt64 .

You can't cast it but you can convert it. Use Convert.ToInt64 (string)
overload. Check for null first if that is a possible value. Or if you
want more control, use one of the overloads of Int64.Parse.

How can I cast from (long double*) to (const double*) I have tried: const double* Value1 = (const double*)Value2; The compiler does not complain but the actual results when I access the const double* are incorrect. Note that the (long double*) is a pointer to an array of long doubles.

At the moment to get the row number I'm using size_t row_number = atoi(buf_string.s_scr()) which throws warnings. What is the correct way to convert a string "2" to size_t 2? Thanks in advance.

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
