The only reason that the casts wouldn't be correct would be if the class overrode opCast for the type that you're casting to or had an alias this declaration for it. Using casting for "instanceOf" is considered the standard and correct way to do it. But if you're being paranoid about the possibility of a conversion being defined with opCast or alias this, then yes, you need to use typeid. - Jonathan M Davis
