it would be nice if the code completion worked on type casts like this one:

dynamic_cast<ChildClass*>(parentPointer)->
Comment 1 Andreas Pakulat 2006-12-30 16:11:18 UTC 
Still not supported and I don't think it will be, as this would mean we'd have to do runtime-type-checking.
Comment 2 Jens Dagerbo 2006-12-30 16:24:56 UTC 
No, it should be enough to simply interpret the cast, it's not our problem if it's wrong.

That said, you obviously never should do dynamic_cast<>()->something(), so the example is a bit silly. Still valid for static_cast<> and C-style casts though.
