Edit Question
Title
Body
Is there an Objective-C equivalent of C++'s dynamic_cast? It can be faked using this: MyClass *safeObject = [object isKindOfClass: [MyClass class]] ? (MyClass *)originalObject : nil; But this is a lot of code to type, even if I don't need to type it often. I am a bit rusty so this might not be quite right, but I believe the equivalent in C++ would be: MyClass safeObject = dynamic_cast<MyClass>(orginalObject); The context here is a block where the parameter is defined as a type of a more generic class, but in this block I "know" it's a specific subclass. Nevertheless, I don't want to just cast it blindly with (MyClass *)originalObject and ignore a theoretically possible error. To be clear, while I'd love a dynamic_cast , I'd be happy with an alternate approach to safely handle this case as well.
