std::string to float or double

std::string num = "0.6";
double temp = ::atof(num.c_str());

Does it for me, it is a valid C++ syntax to convert a string to a double.

You can do it with the stringstream or boost::lexical_cast but those come with a performance penalty.

Ahaha you have a Qt project …

QString winOpacity("0.6");
double temp = winOpacity.toDouble();

Extra note:
If the input data is a const char*, QByteArray::toDouble will be faster.
