Existing Eiffel software uses the string classes (such as STRING_8) from the Eiffel libraries, but Eiffel software written for .NET must use the .NET string class (System.String) in many cases, for example when calling .NET methods which expect items of the .NET type to be passed as arguments. So, the conversion of these types back and forth ...
Although static_cast conversions are checked at compile time to prevent obvious incompatibilities, no run-time type checking is performed that would prevent a cast between incompatible data types, such as pointers. A static_cast from a pointer to a class B to a pointer to a derived class D is ill-formed if B is an inaccessible or ambiguous base ...
In the below example, the method objectToString takes an Object parameter which is assumed to be of type String. public static String objectToString ( Object myObject ) { // This will only work when the myObject currently holding value is string. return ( String ) myObject ; } public static void main ( String [] args ) { // This will work since ...
The most vexing parse is a counterintuitive form of syntactic ambiguity resolution in the C++ programming language. In certain situations, the C++ grammar cannot distinguish between the creation of an object parameter and specification of a function's type. In those situations, the compiler is required to interpret the line as a function type ...
The reinterpret cast technique from C/C++ also works in Pascal. This can be useful, when eg. reading dwords from a byte stream, and we want to treat them as float. Here is a working example, where we reinterpret-cast a dword to a float:
In C++, default constructors take no parameters, instantiating the object members with their appropriate default values, "which is normally zero for numeral fields and empty string for string fields". [11] For example, a default constructor for a restaurant bill object written in C++ might set the tip to 15%:
For the purposes of these tables, a, b, and c represent valid values (literals, values from variables, or return value), object names, or lvalues, as appropriate.R, S and T stand for any type(s), and K for a class type or enumerated type.
In computer programming, run-time type information or run-time type identification (RTTI) [1] is a feature of some programming languages (such as C++, [2] Object Pascal, and Ada [3]) that exposes information about an object's data type at runtime. Run-time type information may be available for all types or only to types that explicitly have it ...
