C++ RTTI
Posted on 2002-05-14
Hi i wrote a simple c++ code but when i compiled it using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 IDE .i gives me Warning "dynamic_cast used on polymorphic type class D with /GR- option unpredictable behaviour my result".And when i execute it give error "Abnormal Program termination " without giving any output.I am in great trouble help me.The code I am using is follows:---
/*************************
////////// RTTI ////////////
/*************************
#include <iostream.h>
class A
{
public :
virtual void print(void)const{
cout<<"I am A"<<endl;
}
};
class B: public A
{
public :
virtual void print(void)const{
cout<<"I am B"<<endl;
}
};
class C: public A
{
public:
virtual void print(void)const{
cout<<"I am C"<<endl;
}
};
class D
{
public:
virtual void print(void) const{
cout<<"I am D"<<endl ;
}
};
class E:public B,C,D
{
public:
virtual void print(void)const{
cout<<"I am E"<<endl ;
}
};
void cmprint(D *d)
{
E *pe;
pe=dynamic_cast<E *>(d);
pe->print();
}
void main()
{
D *pd=new D;
cmprint(pd);
}
/*************************

/*************************
#include <iostream.h>
class A
{
public :
virtual void print(void)const{
cout<<"I am A"<<endl;
}
};
class B: public A

}
};
class C: public A
{
public:
virtual void print(void)const{
cout<<"I am C"<<endl;
}
};
class D
{
public:
virtual void print(void) const{
cout<<"I am D"<<endl ;
}
};
class E:public B,C,D
{
public:
virtual void print(void)const{
cout<<"I am E"<<endl ;
}
};
void cmprint(D *d)
{
E *pe;
pe=dynamic_cast<E *>(d);
pe->print();
}
void main()
{
D *pd=new D;
cmprint(pd);
}

In the C/C++ tab of the Project Settings ensure that you you have checked then "Enable Run-Time Type Information RTTI" box of the "C/C++ Language" Category options.
Now it Terminates abnormally when i call print print method using pointer "pe" inside "cmprint" function ie (pe->print())
Yup, because the cast is not possible and so 'pe' is NULL after the cast. You're trying to cast a 'D' object to a 'E' object, which is not possible if the 'D' object is really a 'D' object. If the 'D' object would be really a pointer to an 'E' object, and then you'd cast the 'D' object (really being an 'E' object) again to an 'E' object, it should succeed.
IOW, change this line:
D *pd=new D;
to
D *pd=dynamic_cast<D*>(new E);
Then it would work, if this cast would be accessible (you'd have to change the access rights of 'E' to make this work).
D *pd=(D*)(new E);
works with your current code.
D *pd=new D;
to
D *pd=dynamic_cast<D*>(new E);
Then it would work, if this cast would be accessible (you'd have to change the access rights of 'E' to make this work).
D *pd=(D*)(new E);
works with your current code.
Thanks. Why did you choose grade 'B'? You can always ask further questions, and i did just post a comment, not an answer ...
As i have given u the entire code but even then ur answer is not appropreate as per my question ,But it was very good starting point for me As in ur comment u r writing

D *pd=(D*)(new E);

**************************
THE ENTIRE CODE WAS IN FRONT OF U, EVEN THEN U COULD NOT GIVE THE ACCURATE SOLUTION .U ARE WRITING AS SHOWN ABOBE "if this cast would be accessible (you'd have to change the access rights of 'E'to make this work)"
AS IN MY QUESTION THE CAST IS NO WAY ACCESSIBLE.
MEANS U DIDNT GO THOUGH THE CODE THOROUGHLY.IN ORDER TO MAKE THE CODE WORKING I HAVE MADE SOME MORE CORRECTIONS.THATS WHY I HAVE GIVEN THE GRADE GOOD.

The viewer will learn how to pass data into a function in C++. This is one step further in using functions. Instead of only printing text onto the console, the function will be able to perform calculations with argumentents given by the user.
The viewer will be introduced to the technique of using vectors in C++. The video will cover how to define a vector, store values in the vector and retrieve data from the values stored in the vector.
