I'm confused as to why this cast would not be allowed? |

In any case, the new version is fine and has the virtue of eliminating pointer casts. |

Fixes #2611.
According to this Stackoverflow thread, the C++ standard does not define the conversion of a
double *tostd::complex<double> *usingreinterpret_cast. (The conversion in the reverse direction is defined, however.) This is probably why certain compilers have encountered the error reported in #2611.
