Are we talking about the same thing? It has been a while but I with C (type)casting I mean instructing the program to view an entity of one variable type as a different variable type. It was commonly used in my case to read file lines into an input buffer and cast it to different structures in one go. How would this fingerprint? Please explain, because I've never heard it used as such.
