Is it possible to have inheritance with no virtual methods? The compiler is saying that the following code is not polymorphic.
Example:
class A {
public:
int a;
int getA(){return a;};
}
class B : public A {
public:
int b;
int getB(){return b;};
}
In another class we are trying to downcast from an A object to a B object:
A *a = ...;
B *b = dynamic_cast<B*>(a)
but this gives the following compile-time error:
cannot dynamic_cast ... (source type is not polymorphic)
