74
// type Foo to type SubclassOfFoo), static_cast<> isn't safe, because
75
// how do you know the pointer is really of type SubclassOfFoo? It
76
// could be a bare Foo, or of type DifferentSubclassOfFoo. Thus,
77
// when you downcast, you should use this macro. In debug mode, we
78
// use dynamic_cast<> to double-check the downcast is legal (we die
79
// if it's not). In normal mode, we do the efficient static_cast<>
