class - C++: Deriving with variables. Something is wrong with a small section of code -

-

classes dog , cat derive animal, in turn derives creature. pdog, pcat, panimal, , pcreature pointers class. animal , creature both abstract classes.

what wrong code?

panimal = new dog(); pdog = panimal;

you can convert up hierarchy (i.e., derived base) implicitly.

converting down hierarchy (from base derived) has done explicitly. in cases, want use dynamic_cast conversion succeed if correct:

animal *panimal = new dog();  dog *pdog = dynamic_cast<dog *>(panimal);

note classes need contain @ least 1 virtual function work (but if don't have virtual functions, hierarchy doesn't make sense @ all).

How to resolve Delphi error: Incompatible types: 'PWideChar' and 'Pointer' -

i have piece of code delphi 7: var lprgndata: prgndata; pc: pchar; pr: prect; ... pc := @(lprgndata^.buffer[0]); in delphi xe4 gives following compile error: incompatible types: 'pwidechar' , 'pointer' how should code updated work correctly in xe4? thanks whether or not compiles depends upon setting of type-checked pointers option . have enabled option excellent decision. doing results in stricter type checking. with type-checked pointers disabled, code compile. type-checked pointers enabled, code not compile, want because code not valid. now, on types in question. defined in windows unit this: type prgndata = ^trgndata; {$externalsym _rgndata} _rgndata = record rdh: trgndataheader; buffer: array[0..0] of byte; reserved: array[0..2] of byte; end; trgndata = _rgndata; {$externalsym rgndata} rgndata = _rgndata; the benefit of using type-checked pointers compiler can tell doing not valid. knows lprgndat...
