Does it does type-punning? Does compilation give warnings about that? That's my guess.
[blosc~] does type punning indeed, it uses type unsigned long in phase conversion, blosc~.cc line 86/87. But there is no literal bitmask defined, only a scaling. Not sure if this type punning gives a problem.
Wait, it uses unsigned long long and unsigned long as distinguished data types for some tricks. But these types could be both 64 bit on a 64 bit system, no? Would it not be better to use types from stdint.h (or cstdint.h in this case)?
