Finding the type of an object in C++
I have a question with checking pointers to see if they conform to a particular derived class and take necessary action.
Lets say I currently have 2 derived classes DerivedClass1 and DerivedClass2 and the base class BaseClass. I would like to check the following action.
Ptr<BaseClass> ptr;
if (ptr points to DerivedClass1)
{
action1
}
else
{
action2
}
How do I check for ptr points to a particular DerivedClass?
