- Subject: Class casting
Is there a way to force class casting in g++? Given the code below, some
compilers will automatically cast class B to it's base-class using the
function call in main(). Is there a way to make gcc recognize and/or
force this cast? Any help would be appreciated. Than you in advance.
class A{
public:
A(){}
virtual void doStuff()=0;
};
class B : class A{
public:
B():A(){}
void doStuff(){
std::cout << "Class B";
}
};
class C{
public:
C(A& a) : initialize....{do Stuff;}
void doOtherStuff(){
a.doStuff();
}
};
int main(){
C* c = new C(B());
c->doOtherStuff();
return 0;
}
