//  See the documentation for descriptions of how to choose between
//  static_pointer_cast<>, dynamic_pointer_cast<>, polymorphic_pointer_cast<> and polymorphic_pointer_downcast<>

//  polymorphic_pointer_downcast  --------------------------------------------//

    //  BOOST_ASSERT() checked polymorphic downcast.  Crosscasts prohibited.
    //  Supports any type with static_pointer_cast/dynamic_pointer_cast functions:
    //  built-in pointers, std::shared_ptr, boost::shared_ptr, boost::intrusive_ptr, etc.

    //  WARNING: Because this cast uses BOOST_ASSERT(), it violates
    //  the One Definition Rule if used in multiple translation units
    //  where BOOST_DISABLE_ASSERTS, BOOST_ENABLE_ASSERT_HANDLER
    //  NDEBUG are defined inconsistently.
