So I just tried to use libmesh_cast_ptr for the first time.... and I'm not really sure about the interface. Here's what I'm doing
PetscMatrix<T> * pmatrix = libmesh_cast_ptr<PetscMatrix<T>*, SparseMatrix<T> >(this->_matrix); What I don't like is how you have to pass Tnew as a pointer type (ie with a *) but Told you pass _without_ a *. I don't really care either way... but it feels like both arguments should be the same. Personally, since the name of the function has _ptr in it.... it seems that we should just drop the need to pass pointer types.... ie: PetscMatrix<T> * pmatrix = libmesh_cast_ptr<PetscMatrix<T>, SparseMatrix<T> >(this->_matrix); What do you guys think? Am I thinking about this wrong? I'm sure Roy had a good reason for doing it this way....
