BLI: remove implicit casts between some span types Casting pointers from one type to another does change the value of the pointer in some cases. Therefore, casting a span that contains pointers of one type to a span that contains pointers of another type, is not generally safe. In practice, this issue mainly comes up when dealing with classes that have a vtable. There are some special cases that are still allowed. For example, adding const to the pointer does not change the address. Also, casting to a void pointer is fine. In cases where implicit conversion is disabled, but one is sure that the cast is valid, an explicit call of `span.cast<NewType>()` can be used. |
