Changeset 3223 for code/branches

Timestamp:

Jun 23, 2009, 7:28:48 PM (15 years ago)

Author:

Message:

Add a new core-feature: orxonox_cast<T>()
The functions casts objects like dynamic_cast, but uses the identifier instead for MSVC (much faster) and is just a redirection to dynamic_cast for GCC.
Also replaced almost all dynamic_casts (of course only those related to the class hierarchy).
