Hi,
I have a multiply inherited class "C" as folloows. None of
them are inherited as virtual base class except that they have virtual
functions.
class b1
{
....
virtual void f1() {}
}
class b2
{
....
virtual void f2() {}
}
class c: pulbic b1, public b2
{
.....
}
Now that, I have a function fun() which takes b1's pointer and now
I want to call b2's functions from there. Assume that the function
is called with argument as address of c's object like below.
void fun(b1 *bp1)
{
b2 *bp2 = (b2*) (c*) bp1;
bp2->f2();
}
somewhere I call like this
c obj;
fun(&obj);
This works fine. But in this case, do I need to use dynamic cast
inside the function fun? Assume that the runtime error check for junk
pointer is not needed in my case.
Thanks in advance. 2 1574

Seems like the function ought to take a c*. Then you won't have to mess
around with conversions.

If you'll always be able to convert a b1* to a b2*, then you can use
the C style casts as written above, replace them with static_casts, or
write the function so that it's interface tells the truth. If it only
deals with c*'s, then it should take a c* as its argument.

Lets say the function fun and the b1,b2 class are part of some library
and fun is a callback. Then in that case, will the c style casting
works irrespective of the compiler/platform?

When a single-bit bitfield that was formed from an enum
is promoted/cast into an integer, does ANSI C say anything
about whether that integer should be signed or unsigned?
SGI IRIX cc thinks it is an unsigned integer, so I
see a +1 if the bit is set. Microsoft VC++ thinks it's
signed, so I see -1 if the bit is set.

Let's assume that we're working on the following system:
CHAR_BIT == 8

Furthermore, lets assume that the memory addresses are distributed as

Before I begin, here's a list of assumptions for this particular example:
(1) unsigned int has no padding bits, and therefore no invalid bit-
patterns or trap representations.
(2) All types have the same alignment requirements.
(3) sizeof(double) >= sizeof(unsigned)
=====================================
We can cast from double to unsigned int as follows:
