Hi,

	int damage = 3000;
	PrintToServer("float = %f", view_as<float>(damage));

float = 0.000000

Why?

[Visual77]

PrintToServer("float = %f", float(damage));

We don't use view_as when we want to convert from one type to another.
view_as<float> would require whatever is inside ( ) to also be float.

[Dragokas]

ok thanks.

But, why?

[Fyren]

Because those bits are going to make a float that's less than 2^-126.

[Dragokas]

Wait, what rules is it cast with? memcpy?

[ddhoward]

view_as is not a cast, it's just a retag.

[klippy]

memcpy, reinterpret_cast<T>, whatever you are familiar with. view_as<T> is just a re-interpretation of bytes.
