--- Comment #3 from Daniel Krügler <daniel.kruegler at googlemail dot com> 2012-10-23 20:56:36 UTC --- (In reply to comment #2) During the Portland meeting the issue http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_active.html#1384 was discussed and core had consensus *not* to support reinterpret_cast in constant core expressions. I think this means we need to bite the bullet now.
