Detailed Description

Interface for objects that can provide their type information.

Provides type introspection capabilities including type comparison, hierarchy checking, and safe casting operations.

Member Function Documentation

◆ cast()

template<typename T >
const T * by::typeProvidable::cast ( ) const &

Safe cast to target type using type hierarchy information.

Returns
Pointer to object if cast is valid, nullptr otherwise
Note
Uses O(1) tier algorithm instead of slow dynamic_cast
