Hi guys,

 

Would anyone mind if I changed the Handle::Link class to allow dynamic typecasting of Handles / RelinkableHandles? It would mean adding a shared pointer for a helper class that would be notified when the Handle::Link class was deleted (only if a typecast had occurred).

 

The performance overhead should be negligible and would allow typecasting of the underlying pointer while maintaining the link to the underlying object.

 

Cheers,

 

Simon
