Type Safety
Casts and type recognition
Summary
TypesNotRepresentations
Rely on types, not on representations. Don't think in bits, don't memcpy non-PODs.
NoCStyleCasts
Don't use C-Style casts, but the C++ casts.
AvoidPtrStaticCasts
Use dynamic_cast instead of static_cast when treating pointers polymorphically.
NoTypeSwitching
Don't use switch, when the cases represent types. Prefer polymorphism.
