Subject: [PATCH] Fix reinterpret_cast for classes with multiple inheritance
Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2024 17:01:15 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240320160115.94-1-ssbssa@yahoo.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240320160115.94-1-ssbssa.ref@yahoo.de>

Currently a reinterpret_cast may change the pointer value if
multiple inheritance is involved:
```
(gdb) p r
$1 = (Right *) 0x22f75c
(gdb) p reinterpret_cast<LeftRight*>(r)
$2 = (LeftRight *) 0x22f758
```

It's because value_cast is called in this case, which automatically
does up- and downcasting.

Fixed by simply using the target pointer type in a copy of the
original value:
```
(gdb) p r
$1 = (Right *) 0x3bf87c
(gdb) p reinterpret_cast<LeftRight*>(r)
$2 = (LeftRight *) 0x3bf87c
```
