dynamic_cast segmentation fault

[Plissken.s]

I have a segmentation fault in the following line using dynamic_cast,
but I can't figure out what's wrong with this.

i appreciate if someone can help. I make sure pm is NOT a null pointer
as I step thru the debugger?

Is there some compiler options I need to enable/not disable in order
for dynamic_cast to work?

bool Grouper::handle(Handler* pm, InputList& bdl, ResultList& grl) {
// Segmentation fault in the following line:
AHandler* hfpm = dynamic_cast <AHandler*> ( pm);

}

class Handler {
// a base class
};

class AHandler : public Handler {

};

Are you asking? I have no idea how to answer this question. Pointers
can be invalid without being null.

How should we know? You need to read the documentation for your compiler
or ask in the newsgroup dedicated to your compiler. Is this your first
time here? Have you read the FAQ yet?
bool Grouper::handle(Handler* pm, InputList& bdl, ResultList& grl) {
// Segmentation fault in the following line:
AHandler* hfpm = dynamic_cast <AHandler*> ( pm);
What *is* the value of 'pm' here? Does it actually point to a valid
'AHandler' or 'Handler'?

}

class Handler {
// a base class
};

class AHandler : public Handler {

};

if you are in the windows enviroment, go to project
settings----c/c++----language, enable the run-time type info to
yes(/GR)

Make sure your base class has virtual functions. RTTI is tied to
polymorpic classes.
