|
|
*
|

* @code

|
* struct SpecialClass
|
|
* {
|

* @code
|
|
* OtherClass other;
|
|
* SpecialClass* ptr = dynamic_cast<SpecialClass*>(&other);

* @code
|
|
* void function(int);
|
|
* SpecialClass* ptr = dynamic_cast<SpecialClass*>(&function);

|
|
*
|

* By default, <tt>ll_template_cast<dest>(s)</tt> will return 0 unless @c s's
|
|
* type is literally identical to @c dest. (This is because of the
|
|
* straightforward application of template specialization rules.) That can
|
|
* lead to surprising results, e.g.:
|
|
*
|
|
* @code
|
|
* Foo myFoo;
|
|
* const Foo* fooptr = ll_template_cast<const Foo*>(&myFoo);
|
|
* @endcode
|
|
*
|
|
* Here @c fooptr will be 0 because <tt>&myFoo</tt> is of type <tt>Foo*</tt>
|
|
* -- @em not <tt>const Foo*</tt>. (Declaring <tt>const Foo myFoo;</tt> would
|
|
* force the compiler to do the right thing.)
|
|
*
|
|
* More disappointingly:
|
|
* @code
|
|
* struct Base {};
|
|
* struct Subclass: public Base {};
|
|
* Subclass object;
|
|
* Base* ptr = ll_template_cast<Base*>(&object);
|
|
* @endcode
|
|
*
|
|
* Here @c ptr will be 0 because <tt>&object</tt> is of type
|
|
* <tt>Subclass*</tt> rather than <tt>Base*</tt>. We @em want this cast to
|
|
* succeed, but without our help ll_template_cast can't recognize it.
|
|
*
|
|
* The following would suffice:
|
|
* @code
|
|
* LL_TEMPLATE_CONVERTIBLE(Base*, Subclass*);
|
|
* ...
|
|
* Base* ptr = ll_template_cast<Base*>(&object);
|
|
* @endcode
|
|
*
|
|
* However, as noted earlier, this is easily fooled:
|
|
* @code
|
|
* const Base* ptr = ll_template_cast<const Base*>(&object);
|
|
* @endcode
|
|
* would still produce 0 because we haven't yet seen:
|
|
* @code
|
|
* LL_TEMPLATE_CONVERTIBLE(const Base*, Subclass*);
|
|
* @endcode
|
|
*
|
|
* @TODO
|
|
* This macro should use Boost type_traits facilities for stripping and
|
|
* re-adding @c const and @c volatile qualifiers so that invoking
|
|
* LL_TEMPLATE_CONVERTIBLE(dest, source) will automatically generate all
|
|
* permitted permutations. It's really not fair to the coder to require
|
|
* separate:
|
|
* @code
|
|
* LL_TEMPLATE_CONVERTIBLE(Base*, Subclass*);
|
|
* LL_TEMPLATE_CONVERTIBLE(const Base*, Subclass*);
|
|
* LL_TEMPLATE_CONVERTIBLE(const Base*, const Subclass*);
|
|
* @endcode
|
|
*
|
|
* (Naturally we omit <tt>LL_TEMPLATE_CONVERTIBLE(Base*, const Subclass*)</tt>
|
|
* because that's not permitted by normal C++ assignment anyway.)
