def bit_cast(obj, dtype):
"""Copy and cast a scalar to a specified data type with its underlying
bits preserved. Must be called in taichi scope.
This function is equivalent to `reinterpret_cast` in C++.
Args:
obj (:mod:`~taichi.types.primitive_types`): Input scalar.
dtype (:mod:`~taichi.types.primitive_types`): Target data type, must have \
the same precision bits as the input (hence `f32` -> `f64` is not allowed).
Returns:
A copy of `obj`, casted to the specified data type `dtype`.
Example::
>>> @ti.kernel
>>> def test():
>>> x = 3.14
>>> y = ti.bit_cast(x, ti.i32)
>>> print(y) # 1078523331
>>>
>>> z = ti.bit_cast(y, ti.f32)
>>> print(z) # 3.14
