Cast - 1 vs 13

Next section compares an older to a newer version of the same operator after both definition are converted into markdown text. Green means an addition to the newer version, red means a deletion. Anything else is unchanged.

+ Casting from string tensor in plain (e.g., "3.14" and "1000") and scientific numeric representations
7
+ (e.g., "1e-5" and "1E8") to float types is supported. For example, converting string "100.5" to an integer may
8
+ yield result 100. There are some string literals reserved for special floating-point values;
9
+ "+INF" (and "INF"), "-INF", and "NaN" are positive infinity, negative infinity, and not-a-number, respectively.
10
+ Any string which can exactly match "+INF" in a case-insensitive way would be mapped to positive infinite. Similarly,
11
+ this case-insensitive rule is applied to "INF" and "NaN". When casting from numeric tensors
12
+ to string tensors, plain floating-point representation (such as "314.15926") would be used.
13
+ Converting non-numerical-literal string such as "Hello World!" is an undefined behavior. Cases
14
+ of converting string representing floating-point arithmetic value, such as "2.718", to INT is an undefined behavior.
15
+
16
+ Conversion from a numerical type to any numerical type is always allowed.
17
+ User must be aware of precision loss and value change caused by range difference between two types.
18
+ For example, a 64-bit float 3.1415926459 may be round to a 32-bit float 3.141592. Similarly, converting
19
+ an integer 36 to Boolean may produce 1 because we truncate bits which can't be stored in the targeted type.

21
+ In more detail, the conversion among numerical types should follow these rules:

- NOTE: Casting to and from strings is not supported yet.
24
+ * floating point: +/- infinity if OOR (out of range).
25
+ * fixed point: undefined if OOR.
26
+ * bool: +/- 0.0 to False; all else to True.
27
+ * Casting from fixed point to:
28
+ * floating point: +/- infinity if OOR. (+ infinity in the case of uint)
29
+ * fixed point: when OOR, discard higher bits and reinterpret (with respect to two's complement representation for
30
+ signed types). For example, 200 (int16) -> -56 (int8).
31
+ * bool: zero to False; nonzero to True.
32
+ * Casting from bool to:
33
+ * floating point: {1.0, 0.0}.
34
+ * fixed point: {1, 0}.
35
+ * bool: no change.
