Re: Re: boost::polymorphic_upcast suggestion

Thank you Sam, I feel quite shitty to not have known this before. I posted this because I thought static_cast couldn't "downcast" and because of downcast/upcast impairment. When I realized I could down_cast using reinterpret_cast and static_cast I should have reconsidered this instead of posting this thing. I learned C++ with visual: c:\dev\test\test.cpp(49) : error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'class B *' to 'class C *' Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast If only the redactor could have added static_cast will do sometimes ;) Jean.
