(John Maddock) // 21 Jan 01 Undid a bug I introduced yesterday. numeric_cast<> never // worked with stock GCC; trying to get it to do that broke // vc-stlport. // 20 Jan 01 Moved BOOST_NO_LIMITS_COMPILE_TIME_CONSTANTS to config.hpp. // Removed unused BOOST_EXPLICIT_TARGET macro. Moved // boost::detail::type to boost/type.hpp. Made it compile with // stock gcc again (Dave Abrahams) // 29 Nov 00 Remove nested namespace cast, cleanup spacing before Formal // Review (Beman Dawes) // 19 Oct 00 Fix numeric_cast for floating-point types (Dave Abrahams) // 15 Jul 00 Suppress numeric_cast warnings for GCC, Borland and MSVC // (Dave Abrahams) // 30 Jun 00 More MSVC6 wordarounds. See comments below. (Dave Abrahams) // 28 Jun 00 Removed implicit_cast<>. See comment below. (Beman Dawes) // 27 Jun 00 More MSVC6 workarounds // 15 Jun 00 Add workarounds for MSVC6 // 2 Feb 00 Remove bad_numeric_cast ";" syntax error (Doncho Angelov) // 26 Jan 00 Add missing throw() to bad_numeric_cast::what(0 (Adam Levar) // 29 Dec 99 Change using declarations so usages in other namespaces work // correctly (Dave Abrahams) // 23 Sep 99 Change polymorphic_downcast assert to also detect M.I. errors // as suggested Darin Adler and improved by Valentin Bonnard. // 2 Sep 99 Remove controversial asserts, simplify, rename. // 30 Aug 99 Move to cast.hpp, replace value_cast with numeric_cast, // place in nested namespace. // 3 Aug 99 Initial version #ifndef BOOST_POLYMORPHIC_CAST_HPP #define BOOST_POLYMORPHIC_CAST_HPP # include # include # include # include #ifdef BOOST_HAS_PRAGMA_ONCE # pragma once #endif namespace boost { // See the documentation for descriptions of how to choose between // static_cast<>, dynamic_cast<>, polymorphic_cast<> and polymorphic_downcast<> // polymorphic_cast --------------------------------------------------------// // Runtime checked polymorphic downcasts and crosscasts. // Suggested in The C++ Programming Language, 3rd Ed, Bjarne Stroustrup, // section 15.8 exercise 1, page 425. template inline Target polymorphic_cast(Source* x) { Target tmp = dynamic_cast(x); if ( tmp == 0 ) boost::throw_exception( std::bad_cast() ); return tmp; } // polymorphic_downcast ----------------------------------------------------// // BOOST_ASSERT() checked polymorphic downcast.
