In contrast to the C-style cast, the static cast will allow the compiler to check that the pointer and pointee data types are compatible, which allows the programmer to catch this incorrect pointer assignment during compilation. *p = 5 // run-time error: stack corruption Since this results in a 4-byte pointer pointing to 1 byte of allocated memory, writing to this pointer will either cause a run-time error or will overwrite some adjacent memory. For example, the C-style cast would allow an integer pointer to point to a char. It is similar to the C-style cast, but is more restrictive. The static cast performs conversions between compatible types. I use them for numeric casts only, and use the appropriate C++ casts when user defined types are involved, as they provide stricter checking. Some people prefer C-style casts because of their brevity. 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. 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. 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. These casts are also called C-style cast. Example: void func(void *data) Īn '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. This should be used if you know that you refer to an object of a specific type, and thus a check would be unnecessary. I don't mind losing games when I know fully well that I'm playing poorly, but these instances of suddenly (and by some outside force, it would feel like) throwing games that just so happen to hinge on me is just terribly frustrating.Static_cast is used for cases where you basically want to reverse an implicit conversion, with a few restrictions and additions. Today I reinstalled the game on my laptop but I haven't tried playing yet to test things out.

I did try frantically switching everything back to normal cast when the bug comes up but to no avail, in the middle of a game. Soulring is on normal cast although I dont think that matters. I have both normal cast and quick cast on my eblade/dagon/scythe/bottle slots. It would take over a second of spamming my buttons just to get off soul ring/eblade/dagon etc, and when I cast missiles I also go through the whole backswing animation. The first half of any match I could normally play well, but after around 30 mins I suddenly get this very sluggish actions when i spam press my inventory hotkeys. Knocked down a couple notches in MMR since I started playing again, but by now I think I'm pretty confident with my Tinker since it's like one of my most played heroes since the past few years, at least when it comes to reliably getting off all the needed spells and items.īut my few last games I've been experiencing a weird bug. Hello, been a while since my last dotabuff post.

Quickcast vs normal cast
