Type Safety (TYPE)

Casts and type recognition.

Types, not Representations (NoRepr)

Rely on types, not on representations. Don't think in bits, don't memcpy non-PODs. -> Details

No switch on Types (NoSwitch)

Don't use switch, when the cases represent types. Prefer polymorphism. -> Details

No C-Style Casts (CCast)

Don't use C-Style casts, but the C++ casts. -> Details

Avoid static_cast on Pointers (StacaPtr)

Use dynamic_cast instead of static_cast when treating pointers polymorphically. -> Details
