Hi ,
I was going through peter van der linden's book Expert C programming,
in this book there is a section named "How and why to cast"
the author then says as follows
(float) 3 - it's a type conversion and the actual bits change.
if you say (float) 3.0 it is a type disambiguation,and the compiler
can plant the correct bits in the first place.some people say that
casts are so named because they help something broken to limp along.
what exactly is this type disambiguation...????
i have n't seen any casts like (float) 3.0; in use (may be due to my
limited experience). how will it help the compiler to plant the
correct bits????
Then the author says that as an impratical example ,you can create a
pointer to ,for example printf(), with
extern int printf(const char*,...);
voif *f = (void *) printf;
you can then call printf through a properly cast pointer, in this
manner:
(*(int(*)(const char*,...))f)("Bite my shorts. Also my chars and ints
\n");
now void *f = (void *) printf; why this cast is required....????
^^^^^^
why the author says that above example is impractical...???
why is it because library functions are not meant to be called via
void pointer.....?????
for explanation of above issues i went to Richard heathfields site: http://www.cpax.org.uk/prg/writings/casting.php
there i found nothing mentioned about type disambiguation..
but i found more complex example such as this
(int)((int (*)(const char *, ...))
printf((const char *)"%3.0f %6.1f\n",
(float)fahr, (float)celsius));
what exactly does this statement does...???
is it just simple printf such as this....
printf("%3.0f %6.1f\n",fahr, celsius);
why all these redundant casts such as
1)(const char *)"%3.0f %6.1f\n"
2)(int)((int (*)(const char *, ...)) 17 2185 so**********@gmail.com said:

It's a kind of picture. Some people claim that casts "clarify" code. This

Doesn't it call printf, cast the result to 'int (*)(const char *,...)',
then cast it again to 'int'? Shouldn't it therefore be:
(int)(
((int (*)(const char *, ...))printf)
((const char *)"%3.0f %6.1f\n",(float)fahr, (float)celsius)
);
If not, doesn't that mean that the (pointless) cast in the following:
int *x = (int *)malloc(sizeof *x); /* Don't do this. */
is actually casting malloc, not malloc's return value, to 'int *'?

so your program is not accurate by a value of .08
There's no error in his program (as far as I can tell). All you've done
is demonstrated that when floating point values are rounded (as in
general, they must be), they are no longer exact.
The exact value of the Celsius temperature corresponding to 220
Fahrenheit is 104 4/9 = 104.44444.... . Since 9 is not a power of 2,
this value cannot be stored exactly in typical floating point formats,
however in general it will be a very good approximation.
The "%6.1f" format code rounds that approximation to 1 digit after the
decimal place, giving 104.4, exactly as shown by his program. This value
is inaccurate by 4/9-4/10 = 4/90 = 0.044444444.... That is called
roundoff error, and it's a fact of life when doing floating point
calculations. You'll have to get used to it, and you should try to
understand it, otherwise you're likely to write code that produces
nonsense. It is that roundoff error which, when propagated backward,
gives you the 0.08 error in the Fahrenheit temperature.

Whilst this is a common extension, the Standard does not

To emphasize your point, there are real platforms where casting
function pointers to void pointers will break.
(Linux/IA-64 is one such platform.)

I wouldn't be surprised.
(Linux/IA-64 is one such platform.)
Is it? void* and function pointers are both 8 bytes on Linux/IA-64.
I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work (unless the compiler
chooses to forbid it), and it works for me with at least one example:
========================================
% uname -a
Linux tg-login1 2.4.21-314.tg1 #1 SMP Tue Nov 21 15:49:16 CST 2006 ia64 unknown
% cat c.c
#include <stdio.h>
typedef int (*pointer_to_printf)(char *, ...);
int main(void)
{
void *p = printf;
printf("sizeof(void*) = %d\n", (int)sizeof(void*));
printf("sizeof(pointer_to_printf) = %d\n", (int)sizeof(pointer_to_printf));
((pointer_to_printf)p)("p = %p\n", p);
((pointer_to_printf)p)("printf = %p\n", (void*)printf);
return 0;
}
% ./c
sizeof(void*) = 8
sizeof(pointer_to_printf) = 8
p = 0x2000000000039608
printf = 0x2000000000039608
========================================
Of course this doesn't prove anything, but I'm curious why you think
that such conversions will break on Linux/IA-64.
(BTW, I don't know how much longer I'll have access to that system.)

If you need a float with the value 3.0f, just say 3.0f - there is no need

Is 3.0f required to be equal to (float)3.0 ?

The C standard is silent on the precision of floating point operations,
though it does acknowledge that they can be imprecise. On this basis, it
has been argued that even 3.0 is not required to compare equal to 3.0. I
think that's going to extremes, but the point it makes is valid. What
the C standard alone leaves unspecified about floating point operations
is sufficient to justify avoiding C for any serious numerical work.
Luckily, C is not the only applicable standard, and when other standards
also apply, C can be quite useful for such work..
The IEC 559 standard does contain lots of specifications about the
required precision of floating point operations, and those specification
are pretty tight, so when __STDC_IEC_559__ is defined, the conversion
of 3.0 from double to float is required to be exact, and the result
therefore must compare equal to 3.0F.

However, 3.0 can always be represented exactly as a double or float:
base b >= 4: 3 x b^0
base b == 3: 1 x 3^1
base b == 2: 1.1 x 2^1
These are all guaranteed by the details in n1256 5.2.4.2.2.
Having said that, I can't find any detail which requires 3.0 to be
rounded correctly, but 6.4.4.2p2 states that 0x3.0 must be correctly
rounded for power-of-two bases. So 0x3.0 == 0x3.0 almost always but
AFAICS 3.0 may not necessarily equal 3.0...

6.4.4.2p3 is a relatively minor issue; the maximum error it allows is
very tiny. The dangerous clause is 5.2.4.2.2p5:
...which doesn't apply to 3.0 == 3.0, which is what I was talking about.
It does seem to show categorically that (float)3.0 == 3.0 isn't even
remotely guaranteed though, and it's good to know about 5.2.4.2.2p5
generally, so thanks.
I was still addressing the 3.0f == (float)3.0 issue that Old Wolfe
raised.

No, and in general it won't be true. Try this:

float f = 0.1f;
double d = 0.1;
if (f == d)
puts("yes");
else

No, no. The cast to int (notwithstanding the other cast) was correct
(in the sense that it's allowed and doesn't cause undefined behaviour)
though pointless. The cast to int (*)(const char *, ...) (or whatever
it was) was incorrect because it applied to the return value instead of
the function itself. It should have been applied to the function by
enclosing the cast and function name in parentheses. That is, it should
have been this
(int (*)(const char *, ...)printf)("Whatever.");
as opposed to this
int (*)(const char *, ...)printf("Whatever.");
This cast is also pointless.
I spotted the error immediately, and am surprised Richard made such a
mistake. I was going to mention it, but then I saw Philip's post. I am
flabbergasted that this has remained unreported for so long. My gast

No, it showed how easy it is to get casts wrong. Hence the statement
that Philip "highlighted Yet Another Reason not to add spurious casts."
