c++学习笔记：dynamic_cast

对于父类Entity，有两个子类：Player，Enemy。如果定义一个 Entity* 类型变量，如下

Entity* actuallyEnemy = new Enemy();

即用Enemy类的构造函数为变量赋值，默认会发生子类向父类的类型转换，不会有问题

如果此时将该变量赋给Player类型的指针，就会出问题

Player* player = actuallyEnemy;

为了避免这种错误的类型转换，需要用到dynamic_cast

Player* p0 = dynamic_cast<Player*>(actuallyEnemy);

此时，因为actuallyEnemy是Enemy*类型，所以类型转换错误，系统设置p0为null。通过判断p0，可以确认类型转换的对错

全部代码如下：

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

class Entity {
public:
	virtual void PrintName() {}
};

class Player : public Entity {

};

class Enemy : public Entity {

};

int main() {

	Player* player = new Player();

	Entity* actuallyEnemy = new Enemy();

	Entity* actuallyPlayer = player;

	Player* p0 = dynamic_cast<Player*>(actuallyEnemy);

	Player* p1 = dynamic_cast<Player*>(actuallyPlayer);

	if (p0) {
		std::cout << "p0 is a turely player!" << std::endl;
	}
	else {
		std::cout << "p0 is not a player!" << std::endl;
	}
	if (p1) {
		std::cout << "p1 is a turely player!" << std::endl;
	}
	else {
		std::cout << "p1 is not a player!" << std::endl;
	}

	std::cin.get();
}
