Turning off C++ casting??

[Vladimir Merzliakov]

I use:

template<class T1, class T2>
inline T1& castRef(T2& t) { 
  assert(dynamic_cast<T1*>(&t)!=0);
  return static_cast<T1&>(t);
}

template<class T1, class T2>
inline T1* castPtr(T2* t) { 
  assert(t==0||dynamic_cast<T1*>(t)!=0);
  return static_cast<T1*>(t);
}
