I've heard of static_cast operator
Recently I've come across static_case, for instance:
*ppv = static_case<IUnknown>
What does this mean?
A:
Its good old C cast with a new C++ syntax similar to other C++ cast like dynamic_cast. The only advantage I know is just being consistent and also it's easy to grep it.

Any info on static_case, specifically?

Updated my response, check out the links but not really. It's just casting a type from one to other without any fancy features.

You're missing the point. He's asking about *static_case* not static_cast.

There is no static_case AFAIK... I assumed it's a typo.

A:
It's a typo : there is no static_case, only static_cast, dynamic_cast, const_cast and reinterpret_cast.
You can see on google that the docs where you find "static_case" have typos and use static_cast and static_case like if it was the same word.
To be sure, just try to use static_case in available compilers.

Nice - thanks Klaim - I'll keep the question up in case others get confused... I'm new to C++

No problem. May I suggest you try using example of keyword usage in you compiler before asking? That would help you check first it that keyword is a language keyword or a library function (like boost ones) or simply a typo.

There is nothing called static_case in C++. There is just static_cast

Static operator for casting object.It's concept for upcast object and downcast object.If you read inheritance object topic,it's can help you. Casting in c++ : http://www.acm.org/crossroads/xrds3-1/ovp3-1.html

the first thing I thought of when I looked at this question - it`s a simple misprint
