Description Unknown 2003-05-23 07:19:11 UTC 
While trying to make the following static cast in sal/rtl/source/bootstrap.cxx:597

found = static_cast< Bootstrap_Impl const * >( handle )->getValue(pName,
ppValue, pDefault );

I get the following error massage:
static_cast from `void *' to `const Bootstrap_Impl *'

I tried using a C style cast but with no luck.

The following patch will take care of the problem...

Hi George, 
 
I thought there was already some discussion about this on the dev or dev@porting 
mailing list. 
 
My understanding is that you can do the cast as a combination of a static_cast and a 
const_cast. 
 
If so (and I am no C++ guy) perhaps trying that might be better than just dropping the 
"const" for everyone. 
 
So please ask about this on the dev or dev@porting list and see what people say. 
 
Thanks, 
 
Kevin
