Hi:


Im curious to know the implementation of static_cast<> by the C++ compiler.
Since it is a better version than "C" style casts...


I assume something like:


1) try to get the type of the non-polymorphic object. something like "typeid()"
2) try to match the given pointer/type to the type of the template parameter
3) If success return after casting ( "C" style ? ) else return null.


Any thoughts?
