boost::polymorphic_cast用法

 

boost::polymorphic_cast用来实现down cast。如果转换不成功，则抛出一个异常。

 

这和dynamic_cast很类似。但是dynamic_cast转换指针失败的时候，不抛异常。

 

下面是二者使用的例子：

 

 

#ifndef BASE_FOR_CAST

#define BASE_FOR_CAST

 

#include <iostream>

#include <boost/cast.hpp>

#include <boost/scoped_ptr.hpp>

 

class base1

{

public:

virtual void print()

{

std::cout << "Base1::print" << std::endl;

}

 

virtual ~base1() { }

protected:

private:

};

 

 

class base2

{

public:

void only_base2()

{

std::cout << "only base2" << std::endl;

}

 

virtual  ~base2() {}

protected:

private:

};

 

 

class derived : public base1, public base2

{

public:

void print()

{

std::cout << "derived :: print" << std::endl ;

}

 

void only_here()

{

std::cout << "only derived 2" << std::endl;

}

 

void only_base2()

{

std::cout << "derived base2" << std::endl  ;

}

~derived() { std::cout << "derived destuctor" << std::endl; }

};

 

void Test_Polymorphic_Cast()

{

base1* p1 = new derived;

 

boost::scoped_ptr<base1> bsp(p1);

p1->print();

 

try

{

derived* pd = boost::polymorphic_cast<derived*>(p1);

pd->only_base2();

pd->only_here();

 

base2* pb2 = boost::polymorphic_cast<base2*>(p1);

pb2->only_base2();

}

catch (std::bad_cast& e)

{

std::cout << e.what() << std::endl;

}

}

 

void polyporphic_cast_example(base1* p)

{

derived* d = boost::polymorphic_cast<derived*>(p);

d->print();

 

base2* b2 = boost::polymorphic_cast<base2*>(p);

b2->only_base2();

}
