[Alephmodular-devel] URL on typecasting safer in C++

[Br'fin <br...@ma...>]

I was looking into dealing away with some of the compiler warnings and  
also trying to tighten up some of the typecasting done in the code.

I came upon this URL.

Casting in C++: Bringing Safety and Smartness to Your Programs
http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~wiseb/xrds/ovp3-1.html

This probably means I will be doing static_casts in code where I can't  
get around the lack of a typecast.

I had some problems with typecasts during the Carbonization process.  
It's no longer safe to typecast WindowPtrs to GrafPortPtrs and the  
existing code had been doing *just that*
So I'm a leetle bit paranoid. :)
