#2941 closed Tasks (fixed)

boost/pool/pool.hpp uses reinterpret_cast instead of static_cast

Reported by: philippe.vaucher Owned by: Chris Newbold
Milestone: Boost 1.39.0 Component: pool
Version: Boost 1.38.0 Severity: Optimization
Keywords: reinterpret_cast static_cast Cc:

Description

In pool.hpp there's a lot of reinterpret_cast usage like so:

static char * malloc(const size_type bytes)
{
  return reinterpret_cast<char *>(std::malloc(bytes));
}

This is a case where static_cast should be used instead. reinterpret_cast is known to yield implementation specific behavior.
