static_cast

`static_cast` 用于您基本上想要反转隐式转换的情况，有一些限制和添加.`static_cast` 不执行运行时检查.如果您知道您引用了特定类型的对象，则应该使用它，因此无需检查.例子:

static_cast

`static_cast` is used for cases where you basically want to reverse an implicit conversion, with a few restrictions and additions. `static_cast` performs no runtime checks. This should be used if you know that you refer to an object of a specific type, and thus a check would be unnecessary. Example:

void func(void *data) {
  // Conversion from MyClass* -> void* is implicit
  MyClass *c = static_cast<MyClass*>(data);
  ...
}

int main() {
  MyClass c;
  start_thread(&func, &c)  // func(&c) will be called
      .join();
}

在这个例子中，你知道你传递了一个 MyClass 对象，因此不需要运行时检查来确保这一点.

In this example, you know that you passed a MyClass object, and thus there isn't any need for a runtime check to ensure this.

if (JumpStm *j = dynamic_cast<JumpStm*>(&stm)) {
  ...
} else if (ExprStm *e = dynamic_cast<ExprStm*>(&stm)) {
  ...
}

如果向下转换(转换为派生类)并且参数类型不是多态的，则不能使用 dynamic_cast.例如，以下代码无效，因为 Base 不包含任何虚函数:

You cannot use dynamic_cast if you downcast (cast to a derived class) and the argument type is not polymorphic. For example, the following code is not valid, because Base doesn't contain any virtual function:

struct Base { };
struct Derived : Base { };
int main() {
  Derived d; Base *b = &d;
  dynamic_cast<Derived*>(b); // Invalid
}

向上投射"(cast to the base class) 对于 static_cast 和 dynamic_cast 总是有效的，也没有任何强制转换，作为向上转换"是一个隐式转换(假设基类是可访问的，即它是一个 public 继承).

An "up-cast" (cast to the base class) is always valid with both static_cast and dynamic_cast, and also without any cast, as an "up-cast" is an implicit conversion (assuming the base class is accessible, i.e. it's a public inheritance).

这些类型转换也称为 C 风格类型转换.C 风格的强制转换基本上等同于尝试一系列 C++ 强制转换，并采用第一个有效的 C++ 强制转换，而无需考虑 dynamic_cast.不用说，这更强大，因为它结合了所有 const_cast、static_cast 和 reinterpret_cast，但它也不安全，因为它不使用 dynamic_cast.

These casts are also called C-style cast. A C-style cast is basically identical to trying out a range of sequences of C++ casts, and taking the first C++ cast that works, without ever considering dynamic_cast. Needless to say, this is much more powerful as it combines all of const_cast, static_cast and reinterpret_cast, but it's also unsafe, because it does not use dynamic_cast.

此外，C 风格的强制转换不仅允许您执行此操作，而且还允许您安全地强制转换为私有基类，而等效的"则是static_cast 序列会给你一个编译时错误.

In addition, C-style casts not only allow you to do this, but they also allow you to safely cast to a private base-class, while the "equivalent" static_cast sequence would give you a compile-time error for that.

有些人更喜欢 C 风格的类型转换，因为它们很简洁.我仅将它们用于数字转换，并在涉及用户定义的类型时使用适当的 C++ 转换，因为它们提供更严格的检查.

Some people prefer C-style casts because of their brevity. I use them for numeric casts only, and use the appropriate C++ casts when user defined types are involved, as they provide stricter checking.
