<dt><b><tt>bitcast ( CST to TYPE )</tt></b></dt>
- <dd>Convert a constant, CST, to another TYPE. The size of CST and TYPE must be
- identical (same number of bits). The conversion is done as if the CST value
- was stored to memory and read back as TYPE. In other words, no bits change
- with this operator, just the type. This can be used for conversion of
- aggregate types to any aggregate type, as long as they have the same bit
- width. Vector types may also be casted to and from any other type as long as
- they have the same bit width. For pointers it is only valid to cast to
- another pointer type.
