Syntax

template<typename T>
T ImplicitConv
(
typename TIdentity< T >::Type Obj
)

Remarks

Uses implicit conversion to create an instance of a specific type. Useful to make things clearer or circumvent unintended type deduction in templates. Safer than C casts and static_casts, e.g. does not allow down-casts

Returns

The object converted to the specified type.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Obj	The object (usually pointer or reference) to convert.
