ANSI C++ adds four cast operators, with template-style syntax, that more clearly express the intentions of the programmer, and make casts easier to spot in the code.
Table 19.3. ANSI Typecasts
static_cast<type>(expr)
|
for converting between related types |
const_cast<type> expr
|
for casting away const or volatile |
dynamic_cast<type>(expr)
|
for safe navigation through an inheritance hierarchy |
reinterpret_cast<type>(expr)
|
for type conversions of pointers between unrelated types |
