What could cause a dynamic_cast to crash?

Question

I have a piece of code looking like this :

TAxis *axis = 0;
if (dynamic_cast(obj))
   axis = (dynamic_cast         


        

Answer 1

dynamic_cast will return 0 if the cast fails and you are casting to a pointer, which is your case. The problem is that you have either corrupted the heap earlier in your code, or rtti wasn't enabled.
