Hello all, GCC has a warning about "old-style casts" (those which were already possible in old C versions), which is currently disabled in PoDoFo. I'd like to make its code more C++-like by removing those and replacing them with dynamic_cast. I'm asking beforehand because there's still the following pronouncement in CODINGSTYLE.txt, section 3.1: "Dynamic casting and typeid are not presently used in PoDoFo." @Committers: Please permit me to lift this restriction, as part of making PoDoFo more modern (already begun by liberating the C++ standard version used, no longer just C++98), in that file and change src/base/PdfVariant.cpp and the other places where dynamic_cast is meant by an old-style cast (AFAIK, the compiler needs to translate these as dynamic_cast anyway), and enable the warning about old-style casts in GCC (I don't use others). I'll also fix the other occurrences of this warning before committing this change.
Thanks in advance for granting my request.
