Far from being a C expert but isn't the following:
the correct way of type-punning? As IIRC signed/unsigned casts are UB if the value exceeds the range of a type.

For casts between integers, the existing code is fine. What you may have in mind is a bitwise cast between float and int.

I'm not sure, I double checked the standard and apparently unsigned to signed is UB when the value doesn't fit, but almost all compiler do two complement (according to https://unspecified.wordpress.com/category/c-3/ and if I read this correctly).
So should only be an issue on unicorn compilers

The standard (6.3.1.3 §3) mentions this conversion produce a result which is implementation-defined, not UB.
Is it OK to keep it like this?
