Summary: dyn_cast<> on multi-level pointers causes errors
Product: libraries
Version: trunk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P
Component: Support Libraries
AssignedTo: [email protected]

The isa<> template will succesfully work on a multi-level pointer, while the
cast<> template will not. This has unfortunate implications for dyn_cast<>,
because it performs an isa<> followed immediately by a cast<>. If a multi-level
pointer is used and the isa<> succeeds, a garbage value is returned.
(A multi-level pointer is something like Base**)
