[Dev-C++] Strange effect

[Ioannis V. <no...@ya...>]

Strange effect. Consider the code:=20
=20
#include <iostream>
=20
class A
{
public:
void test() { std::cout<<"A!\n"; }
};
=20
class C: public A
{
public:
void test() { std::cout<<"C!\n"; }
};
=20
=20
=20
int main()
{
 using namespace std;
=20
  A a;
 =20
  C *cp=3Dstatic_cast<C *>(&a);
 =20
  cp->test();
=20
}
=20
=20
It produces
=20
C:\c>temp
C!
=20
Isn't this wrong? I expected either a GPF or garbage, or even "A!" but
not "C!".
