Unflatten has to go through a lot more checks because it doesn't know what format the input is in. It can't possibly just reinterpret_cast the pointer and let you work with the data because if the string was malformed then you would crash (we don't like that). With the typecast primitive we can avoid some of those checks because we know the source type and from that we know both that the layout of the input data and that it is well formed. The reason it's still linear is that there is still a conversion taking place. We still can't do a real reinterpret_cast in most cases because that would be unsafe.

Thanks you! Yes I lost 400-500 but what can the admin do? I'll just work me way back up again. Its not worth them trying to recreate them. I'll just post the same thing when the topic comes around again. Re: SNR I will do my best to stay informative and boring. Ben
