(John Maddock) 22 // 21 Jan 01 Undid a bug I introduced yesterday. numeric_cast<> never 23 // worked with stock GCC; trying to get it to do that broke 24 // vc-stlport. 25 // 20 Jan 01 Moved BOOST_NO_LIMITS_COMPILE_TIME_CONSTANTS to config.hpp. 26 // Removed unused BOOST_EXPLICIT_TARGET macro. Moved 27 // boost::detail::type to boost/type.hpp. Made it compile with 28 // stock gcc again (Dave Abrahams) 29 // 29 Nov 00 Remove nested namespace cast, cleanup spacing before Formal 30 // Review (Beman Dawes) 31 // 19 Oct 00 Fix numeric_cast for floating-point types (Dave Abrahams) 32 // 15 Jul 00 Suppress numeric_cast warnings for GCC, Borland and MSVC 33 // (Dave Abrahams) 34 // 30 Jun 00 More MSVC6 wordarounds. See comments below. (Dave Abrahams) 35 // 28 Jun 00 Removed implicit_cast<>. See comment below. (Beman Dawes) 36 // 27 Jun 00 More MSVC6 workarounds 37 // 15 Jun 00 Add workarounds for MSVC6 38 // 2 Feb 00 Remove bad_numeric_cast ";" syntax error (Doncho Angelov) 39 // 26 Jan 00 Add missing throw() to bad_numeric_cast::what(0 (Adam Levar) 40 // 29 Dec 99 Change using declarations so usages in other namespaces work 41 // correctly (Dave Abrahams) 42 // 23 Sep 99 Change polymorphic_downcast assert to also detect M.I. errors 43 // as suggested Darin Adler and improved by Valentin Bonnard. 44 // 2 Sep 99 Remove controversial asserts, simplify, rename. 45 // 30 Aug 99 Move to cast.hpp, replace value_cast with numeric_cast, 46 // place in nested namespace. 47 // 3 Aug 99 Initial version 48 49 #ifndef BOOST_POLYMORPHIC_CAST_HPP 50 #define BOOST_POLYMORPHIC_CAST_HPP 51 52 # include <boost/config.hpp> 53 # include <boost/assert.hpp> 54 # include <boost/throw_exception.hpp> 55 # include <typeinfo> 56 57 #ifdef BOOST_HAS_PRAGMA_ONCE 58 # pragma once 59 #endif 60 61 namespace boost 62 { 63 // See the documentation for descriptions of how to choose between 64 // static_cast<>, dynamic_cast<>, polymorphic_cast<> and polymorphic_downcast<> 65 66 // polymorphic_cast --------------------------------------------------------// 67 68 // Runtime checked polymorphic downcasts and crosscasts. 69 // Suggested in The C++ Programming Language, 3rd Ed, Bjarne Stroustrup, 70 // section 15.8 exercise 1, page 425. 71 72 template <class Target, class Source> polymorphic_cast(Source * x)73 inline Target polymorphic_cast(Source* x) 74 { 75 Target tmp = dynamic_cast<Target>(x); 76 if ( tmp == 0 ) boost::throw_exception( std::bad_cast() ); 77 return tmp; 78 } 79 80 // polymorphic_downcast ----------------------------------------------------// 81 82 // BOOST_ASSERT() checked polymorphic downcast.
