// The DCAST (downcast) macro is defined as a convenience for downcasting from
// some TypedObject pointer (or a PointerTo). It's just a normal C++-style
// downcast, except it first checks get_type() to make sure the downcasting is
// safe. If you compile with NDEBUG, or set verify-dcast to #f, this check is
// removed.
// DCAST will return NULL if the downcasting is unsafe. If you'd rather it
// abort out of the function (a la nassertvnassertr), then see DCAST_INTO_V
// and DCAST_INTO_R, below.

// Note: it is important that DCAST not repeat the pointer parameter, since
// many users of DCAST may want to use the result of a function as the pointer
// parameter, and it could be terribly confusing and difficult to trace if the
// function were inadvertently executed twice. This happened!
#define DCAST(want_type, pointer) _dcast((want_type*)0, pointer)
// DCAST_INTO_V and DCAST_INTO_R are similar in purpose to DCAST, except they:
// (a) automatically assign a variable instead of returning the downcasted
// pointer, and (b) they immediately return out of the function if the
// downcasting fails. DCAST_INTO_V is for use in a void function and returns
// nothing; DCAST_INTO_R is for use in a non-void function and returns the
// indicated value.
// Both DCAST_INTO_V and DCAST_INTO_R accept as the first parameter a variable
// of type (want_type *) or (const want_type *), instead of the name of the
// type. This variable will be filled with the new pointer.
// _dcast_ref is used to implement DCAST_INTO_V and DCAST_INTO_R. Its
// difference from _dcast is that it takes a reference to a pointer as a first
// parameter. The main point of this is to shut up the compiler about
// pointers used before their value is assigned.
