Target protocols::jd2::utility::down_cast ( Source &  s )

inline

Fast assert-checked polymorphic down-cast: reference argument.

Note

Usage: down_cast< Type & > where Type can be const-qualified

For down-casting when you know the cast is valid

Can't use for hierarchies with virtual base classes

Assert intentionally won't compile if a virtual base class is present
