A simple introspection method.
It offers to implementations the possibility to avoid the usage of the dynamic_cast. It appears that this C++ feature is not yet reliable (May 2003) in complex environments that intensivly use the dynamic loading. The signature of this method follows the qt_cast method found in Qt (see the Q_OBJECT macro). Example of usage is : AIDA::IManagedObject* object = tree->find("myData"); if(object) { AIDA::IHistogram* histo = object->cast("AIDA::IHistogram"); if(histo) { // the object is an histo. } }
- Parameters
-
className The name of the class to cast on.
- Returns
- The right pointer. Return 0 if className is not in the inheritance tree.
Implemented in AIDA::IManagedObjectROOT.
