This is a syntax error.  You mean:

    double d;
    unsigned char uc;

    uc = (unsigned char) d;

If my vector you mean array (they're not called vectors in C), then it
just looks like this:

    double da[];
    unsigned char uc;

    uc = (unsigned char) da[i];

It shouldn't have worked at all.
