Why can't I make dynamic_cast work properly?

[pir]

Ok I found the problem... but not solved it.

The dynamic_cast doesn't work because I use FORTRAN libs when linking the library. There is one lib called -lcxa that mess dynamic_cast up. Anyone have any tips? The fortran compiler is a Intel 9.0.

Why don't you use gcc to compile your fortran gizmos? AFAIK gcc supports fortran. Maybe it'll work better.

The FORTRAN code is written for the intel ifort compiler. I don't know much about FORTRAN, but there seems like the syntax for ifort FORTRAN is some kind of mix of FORTRAN90 and FORTRAN75 ( or what they are called )... anyway I don't think that it will compile on any other compiler than on ifort.

But fortunatelly typeid() works just fine, so I can use that in combination with static_cast... Will work for the moment. But I suppose I need to fix this.


thanks

If there is someone who cares about this problem... here is the solution.

check out the link:

This is the part that could save a poor (SA)FORTRAN cursed soul some tears:

Use GNU g++ or Intel C++ compiler to compile and link with main():
g++ -o name-of-exe main_prog.cpp file1.o file2.o -L/opt/intel/fc/9.0/lib -lifport -lifcore -limf -Wabi -Wcast-align

If this can help only one person who has this problem, I'm more than happy.
