dynamic_cast vs static_cast-polymorphism 99% sure its solved

[albinopapa]

I thought it only threw bad_cast if it's dealing with references otherwise returns NULL?

static_cast
dynamic_cast
const_cast
reinterpret_cast

For a while I figured maybe I should eventually transition from c-style casts to c++ casts. But you know what, fuck that shit. That shit is dumb.

hehe, during the lesson in which you were editing the mouse classes i used const_cast instead of making the MouseServer variable it had non-const (err, or was it the keyb stuff? eh, i forget )

I'm so glad you don't have an elitest mentality about this stuff. After this post and camerons I started looking around and of course ended up on stack over flow and people there were saying that you can spot programmers transitioning from C by their use of (int) C-style casting. After reading a lot of their posts, which there is an abundance of useful information over there if the questions ever get answered, there are a lot of uppity programmers. Some will say, RTFM, try it and see for yourself and so on. Chili you have a nice thing going here bro. Even when you are done with tutorials, I hope you never leave, unless it's for family sake of course.

Stackoverflow is an amazing resource that I refer to almost daily. That being said, there is a lot of groupthink conformity and elitism there, and you need to take everything you read with a grain of salt. I like shiny new programming constructs as much (or moreso) than the next guy, but I've weighed the pros and cons and I just can't justify the pain in the assery of using C++ casts.

And hey man, as long as this community has quality members such as yourself participating, this is where you'll find me. Bro hug?

Nothing wrong with kissing hands and shaking babies.
