The following bit casting method using reinterpret_cast has undefined behaviour: ``` int a = 1; float b = *reinterpret_cast<float*>(&a); ``` Above breaks the strict aliasing rule which indicates: > dereferencing pointers to objects of different types will never refer to the same memory location. More information can be found under src/base/macros.h. `bit_cast` here is implemented with `memcpy` behind the scenes. C++20 will have this feature included by default.
