New typecast Style in C++?

**Thantos** · 09-18-2005

That style of casting is nice because it follows the constructor look and feel.

I.E.

Code:

class Bob {
  public:
    Bob(int);
};

Would allow you to do

Code:

Bob(10);
int x;
Bob(x);

The only time it gets annoying is with two word type names

Code:

unsigned long (x);

just doesn't work

Have to do

Code:

(unsigned long)(x);

And Ancient Dragon you haven't been here long enough to pick on Mister C.

Old farts like me can pick on anyone I like, thank you very much.

Code:

 num = int (19.99) + int (11.99);

I've seen it on very rare occasions. I don't like it and don't use it.
