Re: [boost] Downcast taking account of virtual inheritance

Zitat von "vicente.botet" <vicente.botet@wanadoo.fr>:

B* ptr; ptr= new D(); D* dPtr = downcast<D*>(ptr); // uses static_cast as is_virtual_base_of<B,D>::type is false

ptr= new DV(); DV* dPtr = downcast<DV*>(ptr); // uses dynamic_cast as is_virtual_base_of<B,DV>::type is true

What would be a good name for this downcast function?
