Casting - Is this allowed

Code:

---

  *ppa = pd; // this should be legal.
  ppd = (Dog**)&c;

---

The above two are equlivant. One is just a legal as the other -- the compiler assumed the programmer knows what he is doing.

Thanks for that link

Thanks, Mr Superkoko and NMTop40.

It took me some time to see that what i did, results in a totally different call of a function from the v-table of the other object.

Thanks everyone for your time
