In this video Chili teaches us how to figure out what our polymorphic pointers are actually pointing to. Just note that although we can do this, it is generally a weaksauce way to go about things. Virtual functions are 1000% more hype than type discovery bullshit. Oh yeah, we also finally see all the C++ style casts united.
Topics Covered
-
dynamic_cast<T*>anddynamic_cast<T&> -
const_cast - Overview of all C++ style casts
- RTTI with

Note that the code for this video is in a different branch called "casting". You will not find it in the master branch.
