cast and static cast

<< < (4/4)

yop:
Well you've described my situation exactly and since I also have to maintain some code in work besides writing my own, I really can't deside how to act when seeing this kind of casts as they seem to me perfectly legitimate, on the other hand I like keeping my own copy of the buffer to play around with it.  :?

Michael:
Yes, I think that in such cases casts could be seen as legitimate (if the needed precautions are taken) and I do not see for the moment a better solution. Keeping a copy of the buffer could be useful for different reasons, but if available memory is a constraint, then keeping a copy of the buffer would be not a so good idea.

Not sure that there is another way. But may be one of my colleagues could have used something different/better. I will inquire :).

After inquiring :), none of my colleagues seems to have a better solution and therefore cast is used. Anyway, they also advice to use some precautions, e.g., the code should be good commented.
