//	dyncast.h: Handle dynamic and static casting

#ifndef _DYNCAST_H_

//  Macro to perform const_cast; i.e., cast away "const-ness" without
//	changing base type.
#define CONST_CAST(type,arg)  const_cast<type>(arg)

//
//	Function templates for generating error-detecting dynamic casts.
//	The compiler will generate the needed version of this based upon the types 
//	provided.  'DynCastThrow' should be used when you're certain of the 
//	type of an object.  'PdynCast" should be used when you intend to check
//	whether the conversion was successful (result != NULL).
//	If 'USE_STATIC_CAST' is defined, static casting is done in DynCastThrow().
//
//#define USE_STATIC_CAST	// Uncomment to force static casting
//#define TIME_DYN_CASTS	// Uncomment to generate timing information
