Calculation of a template in dynamic_cast

Question

I have a class that is defined as:

template <class WidgetType>
class CometWidget : public WidgetType;

Inside the function, I do this:

dynamic_cast<CometWidget *>(iter2->second.second)->changesCommited_();

and it enables the type CometWidget, matches and runs correctly.
The code is executed inside the CometWidget class. How does this happen?
Why is this so? Should it even compile?

Answer 1

If it's inside an ad CometWidget, you don’t need to explicitly specify a template (or any term that you use to say CometWidget<...>).

Answer 2

Very interesting. It seems to me that this is an interesting compiler error.

CometWidget < > , . , .

. , "" , .
