Detailed Description

template<typename TO, typename FROM>
union stlsoft::union_cast< TO, FROM >

This class (union) effects conversion from one type to another, without the use of casts.

Note:
The use of this technique is non-portable, and you use this class at your own risk. Notwithstanding that, the TO and FROM types have to be the same size, so the technique is widely usable.
